Amaryllis
South America (Andes & Brazil)
Early 18th century
Virtually scentless
Pride, determination & radiant beauty
Native to South America, the amaryllis sends up tall hollow stems crowned with trumpet blooms the size of an open hand. That single dramatic gesture is its gift to an arrangement – one stem reads as a statement, holding height and architecture where softer flowers gather. Amicis favours it through the cooler months, when its scale feels most deliberate.
