These are imported varieties (Ice Queen & Diva). Even local Amaryllises can have two scapes. There are a host of factors which trigger the formation of scapes and it can be a separate topic altogether.

Some more photos of Ice Queen and Diva which bloomed today. Generally i prefer single Amaryllis but found the shape of 'Diva" flower attractive.

The colour of Diva is hard to capture on camera unless shot early in the morning. Below are some images of Diva and Ice Queen which were taken today in the morning.

Brig Sahib,
This is the first time i am seeing an amaryllis having quadruple (4 petals layering). Double or triple petal amaryllis are common but this is unusual.
