The Amaryllis is named after a shepardess referred to in Virgil and the name comes from the greek word meaning dazzling. The species is called Belladonna, the Italian word meaning beautiful lady. The flowers general meaning is Pride, because the flower is difficult to grow, but once in bloom outshines all those around it.
