Amaryllis bulbs  are among the easiest plants to grow we'll show you how. But first, you should know that an Amaryllis is really a Hippeastrum. Hippeastrums   are in the genus Ammaryllidacea (a family of flowering plants) which is the source of the confusion.   The true Amaryllis consists of a single species,   Amaryllis belladonna, also known as "naked ladies". However, there are more than   50 spe cies of Hippeastrum. We will use the popular name , Amaryllis, though you will also see them referred to elsewhere, more correctly, as Hippeastrum.
