Hippeastrum Twinkle Star

this one really had me
as you can see the bloom is nice but to me the flower is too small and the petals curled backward

I expected a better blooming size than what I got until I noticed a second flower spike that explained it all to me

this is the first Hippy I have that has ever had two spikes from one bulb

this is one that my wife got me for Fathers day back in early September this year.

I hope you enjoy

If you have pests, you might need to call an Orkin pest exterminator to help keep your flowers pest free.
