For fans of purple, this is the closest we've seen to date in the amaryllis world. While it would be a huge stretch (okay, a fib) to liken this Amaryllis's flower color to the shade of purple favored by royalty in the middle ages, it does tend towards that side of the color wheel. On Estella's trumpet shaped blossoms, each petal is accented by a white center stripe and finished with a pointed tip that often exhibits a tiny jaunty twist. Mix with Amaryllis White Christmas for a magical New Year's Eve dinner party display.
