Benifica is a magnificent, deep red amaryllis with broad, lightly ruffled petals and sparkling golden stamens. These jumbo bulbs will bloom for a month or more and produce 3 stems with 4 to 5 flowers per stem.
I believe this is the one I received as a gift in the mail, as the photo on my paperwork is the same. I received it late Nov/beginning of Dec. It was in full bloom by December 25th or shortly after. There were 5 flower/buds on the stem of both bulbs. They lasted well into the end of Dec before I cut them back. To my surprise, a week or so later I noticed another bud coming from each bulb! And a month later, they are in beautiful bloom with 4 flowers per stem. These are spectacular and have been enjoyed for 2.5 months now.
