Hymenocallis (Peruvian Daffodil) At Sunrise - beautiful white bloom with curling narrow petals coming out from center bloom
 

Photo Description
I was doing some early morning weeding when this beauty caught my eye. And of course it should be a beauty, it's a member of the Amaryllis family. My first bloom of the year, it will be followed by many more.

About three years ago, I bought 3 bulbs. Now I have well over a hundred. They do multiply rapidly. Primarily found in Central America, they are tropical plants.

Thank goodness for some plant's ability to go dormant. This allows me to lift the bulbs of this flower commonly known as 'Peruvian Daffodil', store them over winter, and start them outside in containers, again in the spring.

The flower has a delicious and heady perfume, reminiscent of a scent offered by one of the old established houses of Paris, circa 1940.

Beautiful! New one to me - do they have single blooms or do they have several - like the Amaryllis?

Usually four to a cluster.

That's neat - I have just had about 6 Amaryllis with 9 blooms - the most for me -ever- so I am excited about all of these flowers at one time.
