One of my previously Red truned White Bulbs bloomed again (I put them in pots now). Now it has purple-pink flower, not large in size, but pretty(I have pictures). Have Amaryllises been known to root graft?

Hi Andrew You definitely have something unique. I have no explanation for amayllis to change colors. There is no grafting involved as they are bulbs. The only possibility is if the original bulb made a bulblet that mutated. Mutation are not uncommon in plants, but I have not heard of them in amaryllis. Enjoy your beautiful plants.
