Hippeastrum 'Dance Valley' - Amaryllis bulb with cream-green and pink-red flowers
Hippeastrum 'Dance Valley' is an elegant and unusual Amaryllis cultivar, appreciated for its large flowers in delicate shades of cream, very pale green, and pinkish red, with more intense accents toward the center of the flower. The petals are relatively narrow and elongated, giving it a more airy and exotic appearance than classic Hippeastrum varieties.
The cultivar is officially recognized in Dutch horticultural registers, and commercial sources describe it by its creamy-green base color with red or pinkish-red markings.
