Botanical Name: Hippeastrum
Description: A sensational double amaryllis.  Its many-petalled flowers are a satiny white with streaks of red and a delicate red edging.  Elvas produces huge flowers, up to 8 inches across, and lots of them.  Each bulb will most often send up 2 stalks, each topped with 4 or 5 enormous flowers.  Amaryllis are easy to pot  up and grow indoors.  Plant them individually or put 2 or 3 in a larger planter for an especially impressive show.
