The flowers are held on tall, willowy stems that allow them to sway beautifully in the breeze. When the buds are closed, they form slim, candle-like spindles that are a rich rose-red on the outside.

The large, cup-shaped double blooms are a dusky blend of antique rose, warm apricot, soft coffee, and hazy gold, with a beautiful silky, almost metallic sheen to the petals. It is the antithesis of a bright, primary-coloured tulip; instead, it offers a subtle, smoky, and incredibly refined beauty. This complex colouring makes it an exceptional partner for plants with dark, bronze, or purple foliage, such as Heuchera, and it looks breathtaking when paired with deep plum or maroon tulips. 'La Belle Epoque' is a flower that rewards close inspection, making it ideal for planting in containers or near pathways and seating areas. It is an unforgettable variety that brings a sense of history and artistry to the garden.

An extraordinary and captivating species Amaryllis, 'Papilio' is a true collector's item, bearing little resemblance to its hybrid cousins. Its name, meaning "butterfly" in Latin, perfectly captures the unique, winged appearance of its blooms. The flowers are an intricate mosaic of colours, featuring a base of creamy, greenish-white, which is heavily and artistically brushed with deep maroon and burgundy veining. Two upper petals are broad and wing-like, while the lower, narrower petals resemble a butterfly's antennae, creating an unmistakable and elegant silhouette. Unlike the trumpet shapes of other Amaryllis, 'Papilio' has an exotic, orchid-like grace that is utterly enchanting. Each stem typically produces two to three of these mesmerising flowers. As a species plant, it is prized for its natural, untamed beauty and is a must-have for any serious bulb enthusiast looking for something truly special and sophisticated.

The petals are broad and form a classic, wide, open-faced flower shape that shows off its dramatic colouring to perfection. 'Minerva' embodies the traditional colours of the holiday season, offering a cheerful, bright, and unapologetically festive display. Its timeless appeal, reliability, and dazzling high-contrast pattern ensure that it remains one of the most sought-after and widely grown Amaryllis varieties year after year.
A truly wonderful and aptly named botanical tulip, 'Lilac Wonder' is a form of Tulipa saxatilis (bakeri group). It is celebrated for its charming, bowl-shaped flowers that open wide in the sunshine. The petals are a beautiful shade of soft lilac-pink, which provides a stunning contrast to the large, striking, golden-yellow centre. The effect is like a little drop of sunshine held in a pink cup. Each stem can produce several flowers, creating a generous display from a single bulb. The glossy green leaves are also attractive.

An iconic and beloved variety, 'Flaming Parrot' sets the garden ablaze with its brilliant colours.

The large petals are deeply scalloped and ruffled, twisting elegantly as the flower opens to create a dynamic and fiery effect. No two flowers are ever the same, making for a thrilling and varied display. It is a sport of the famous 'Rembrandt' tulip 'The Smiling Queen' and carries all of its parent's vigour and beauty, but with the added drama of the parrot form. The strong stems hold the flamboyant flowers well above the foliage, making it a reliable and spectacular choice for borders and an absolute showstopper in a vase.

'Nymph' is the essence of winter elegance, offering a display of opulent, cloud-like flowers that bring a sense of peace, luxury, and timeless style to any indoor setting.
