Amaryllis means to sparkle in Greek. Hippeastrum is derived from the Greek words for horse and star. In nature, amaryllis bloom in spring or summer, but are commonly forced into early bloom for the holidays. The U.S. imports more than 10 million amaryllis bulbs every year, mainly from Holland and South Africa.
The genus Hippeastrum has yielded several substances with medically useful properties, one of which has shown promise as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. However, Amaryllis plants (Hippeastrum sp.) have toxin primarily in the bulb but also the leaves and stem and can be poisonous to both humans and pets with long-term negative effects to ones health.
