Your H Promise is lovely but I have my doubt if it is H Promise.
Brig Sahib perhaps it's not 'H. Promise' as i have lost all the tags and i am re-establishing their identity.

H. Picotee. The red outline is not prominent perhaps due to exposure in full sun location.

H. First Love which mistakenly came in place of H. Dynamite. Somehow this variety was a disappointment.

Khurram sb the Celica is so beautiful.Mine failed to flower this year.the scalp died.First Love is very nice Khurram sb.But Alfresco is the most beautiful in Hadeco is,t it.
have a look on my Arctic ! Nymphs are in full flowering & peacocks are about to be in flowering in three days.
Image
Nymps are my favorite Amaryllis but Cherry is my most favorite.Khurram sb some of my Amaryllis are also showing third scalp.Note the pink hints in the Arctic the white nymp is also not that so pure white.I am really impressed by Ice Queen.I have White Nymph, White Peacock & Alfresco but Ice Queen is really the Queen of the whites is,t it.

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' ?

Here are two others.

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.
