In the summer, I've seen large blooming flowers in the park that were especially vibrant and captivating, with their bright red color attracting people from afar.
This flower is Hippeastrum, a perennial bulbous herbaceous plant of the Amaryllidaceae family, loved by flower enthusiasts for its beautiful blooms and easy care.
The native variety of Hippeastrum in our country has a single large red petal, commonly with a pair or two pairs of flowers on top of a single stem, hence the folk names such as "Duihong" or "Duiduihong". Hippeastrum has many aliases, such as Honghualian, Huagoulan, Baizhilian, Zhudingtonlan, Zhutonghong, Gutinghua, Baizilian, etc.
Hippeastrum is native to South America, with many different varieties also found abroad. After being introduced and cultivated in our country, it is common to see various colors in gardens or potted plants in both the north and south, with now a wide variety of breeds and colors, not just single-petal but also double-petal varieties.
Hippeastrum Flower Language and Meaning
Under normal circumstances, Hippeastrum blooms once a year. With proper care, it can grow robustly and sometimes bloom twice or even three times a year. Hippeastrum planted outdoors in the south usually flowers from May to June, while the flowering period for potted plants in the north is often around the Spring Festival in winter.
The leaves of Hippeastrum are long and thin, thick green leaves that grow directly from the bulb. The flower stem of Hippeastrum is relatively thick, growing a flower spike from the bulb that stands tall and then blooms at the top, giving the plant a graceful and elegant beauty.
This upright and sturdy flower stem is what we commonly call the "Swan Neck". With this "Swan Neck", the whole pot of flowers appears beautiful yet elegant, sophisticated and stylish.
