thank you!
hmm ... I haven't checked for fragrance - guess I should do that! First Amaryllis for me! My mom did have some at one time, and I don't remember if there was a fragrance ...
Another one I got at the same time has also started to bloom, it looks mostly the same as this, but is a bit smaller, and color is a bit lighter. |

third bloom opening on this one, and blooms opening on a second Amaryllis - the second is very similar looking to the first, but a lighter color, and smaller

Almost all amaryllis have "amaryllis" scent, which isn't too strong at all and you have to get your nose right up to the flowers to be able to sense it.
With that said, some seem to have no scent at all while some are fragrant.
White peacock and Blossom peacock are good example of fragrant amaryllis, and they are both really beautiful to look at as well!
Try them this coming fall. You'll love them! |

I completely forgot to check for fragrance!  Having a hectic week!
I'd love to try those ones ... running short on space  |

If you were to get one of the two I mentioned, then I recommend Blossom Peacock. The color in person is just so pretty. online pictures do not do justice at all. also, it is easier to find. white peacock is fairly difficult to find.
