That is a beauty. What is the name of that one? Is it in any catalog cause I don't see anything but the solid white and red ones in garden centers around here.

Toni, I bought it at Walmart to force, I ashamedly don't remember the name. I have never seen them anywhere else, or since. It does make a spectacular show.
Oops, I think I may have found it and a source for it:

That amaryllis is very pretty, just like striped candy cane.

That is so beautiful, I love it! I wouldnt mind looking out for one of those for inside here, we have pods from the one we grew, my husband pollinatedd it ( he thinks) and the pods are swelling well, just not sure what happens if theyre seeds or what, I guess we will find out when theyre ripe.
