Nice images Khan sahib especially your shot of H. Alfresco is better than my shot.

Amongst the white doubles Alfresco, Artic Nymph &Ice Queen are a class apart and i have yet to see a single white amaryllis which can surpass the standard set forth by H. Mont Blanc. Six flowers on a single stalk sometimes tend to happen. This year six flowers appeared simultaneously on 2 stems of H. Red Lion and the 3rd stem had 5 flowers.

How about naming it 'H. Parveen Shakir'.

Also please suggest any name (male or female) for the cross shown below barring Reema or Meera? I am thinking of naming it either 'H. Laila Shahzada' or 'H. Nazia Hassan' ?

I suggest wait for a few more years and when you have a cultivar you think you cannot possibly match then name H. Nazia Hassan.

Excellent show. Hopefully another year maybe two before my cultivars start blooming.

Thank you Brig Sahib and Dr Sahib for your suggestions. How about naming a cross on far flung areas of Pakistan like Leepa, Deosai, Naran, Kalam, Astore, Chagai etc based on similar pattern like H. Sumatra, H. Lima, H. Bogota etc.

H. Clown. The red splash sometimes is not visible on lower petals.
