Hippeastrum Aphrodite

Here is one of our H. Aphrodite bulbs that we repotted today.  I think it will be next year before we see and can take some good pictures of our Aphrodite blooms.....so looking forward to it!  She is one beautiful flower.   This one particular bulb is 23 cm and she has 4 leaves growing that will take in sunlight and get her prepared from her next bloom next spring!!
