The Ministry of Agriculture's seed farm successfully cultivated a new amaryllis variety "Seedling No. 5 Summer Love"

The Ministry of Agriculture's seed farm has invested many years in research and breeding, and has successfully cultivated "Seed No. 5 Summer Love". This new variety has a unique orange-red double flower color and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor flower arrangements. It can be used as a material for high-end cut flowers and floral arrangements. This variety has obtained the variety right.

The flowering period of traditional amaryllis varieties is mostly concentrated between February and May. Commercially cultivated bulbs usually need to have a diameter of more than 20 centimeters before they are capable of flowering. The nursery said that "Seed No. 5 Summer Love" has broken through the restriction. When the diameter of the bulb reaches more than 15 centimeters, it is capable of flowering. When combined with quantitative propagation technology, the time and cost of propagation and cultivation can be significantly shortened.

The seed farm further pointed out that "Seed No. 5 Summer Love" is a rare double-petaled variety in the market. The front of the flower presents a classic and elegant trumpet shape. The complex and layered narrow obovate petals are visually passionate and bold orange-red. The petals also have delicate and well-proportioned line patterns, and there are some slightly wavy wrinkles on the edges of the petals, which perfectly blends the warm colors and soft texture. It also has short and small flower stalks without anthocyanin coloring, which set off the tall and well-proportioned delicate flower posture at the top.

The seed farm stated that "Seed No. 5 Summer Love" has strong growth potential and excellent adaptability. It only needs sufficient light and a good ventilation environment for daily care to grow smoothly. It is expected to enter the cut flower market in the future. It can also establish a local high-quality seed bulb supply system in Taiwan and gradually reduce its dependence on foreign imported seed bulbs.
