As autumn unfolds its colorful tapestry of warm browns, fiery reds, and golden yellows, many assume that the season’s floral offerings are limited to these classic hues. However, there’s a striking exception that’s making waves among florists and flower lovers alike — the Amarine. This remarkable flower, cultivated at Agro Fleur Select by Kitty de Jong and supplied through the All I Am label by Coloríginz, proves that fall can be anything but dull, thanks to its vivid pinks and robust presence.
What Is the Amarine Season?
The Amarine’s peak season typically spans from week 35 to week 46, aligning perfectly with the heart of autumn. Since these blooms are grown outdoors, their harvest is naturally influenced by the weather. Teus Beekhuis of All I Am explained:
“The end of the season mainly depends on the risk of frost. Fortunately, in recent years, frost has been less severe, allowing us to enjoy the Amarine’s beauty until about week 46.”
A Unique Hybrid With a Bold Presence
What sets the Amarine apart is its hybrid origin — a blend between the Amaryllis and Nerine. This combination grants it an extraordinary appearance and a prime blooming period during fall.
“Just when many plants start to show their autumn colors, the Amarine bursts into bright, eye-catching pinks,” Teus notes. “It really stands out in both floral arrangements and garden displays, adding a splash of unexpected color to the season.”
Amarine Colors and Varieties
At Agro Fleur Select, several varieties of Amarine are cultivated, each showcasing various shades of pink:
- Anastasia: a bright fuchsia, often called ‘hot pink’
- Aphrodite: a clear, bright pink
- Emmanuelle: a soft, light pink
- Smila and Paris: shades that sit between Anastasia and Aphrodite
- Tomoko: Teus’s favorite, with a deep, autumnal red that’s reminiscent of Indian Summer
He emphasizes, “Tomoko may be shorter, but its rich, deep red hue makes it a fantastic seasonal accent. It adds depth and warmth to any bouquet.”
Exceptional Quality and Harvest
This year, Agro Fleur Select reports an exceptionally high-quality harvest. “Nearly all bulbs produce excellent flowers suitable for cutting,” Teus shares proudly. “We’re seeing sturdy stems, perfect buds, and clear colors – it’s truly a season to celebrate.”
While the Amarine can be unpredictable, sometimes flourishing abundantly and other years more reserved, 2025 looks promising. “The crop can be a bit capricious, depending on sunlight and weather conditions, but right now, we’re in a situation where we’re harvesting with enthusiasm and anticipation,” Teus happily adds.
Availability and Freshness
Florists and retailers can expect to enjoy this stunning bloom for the coming weeks. “We still have five to seven weeks of the Amarine season ahead of us,” Teus assures. “Every day, fresh blooms arrive at Coloríginz, ensuring that your autumn arrangements stay full of life.”
Adding the Amarine to Your Floral Arsenal
With its unique colors and strong, healthy stems, the Amarine is a valuable addition to any autumn collection. Its bold pinks and reds bring energy into seasonal bouquets, while its availability through All I Am ensures a reliable, daily supply. Whether used as a centerpiece, accent flower, or in mixed arrangements, the Amarine offers a fresh perspective on fall floral design.
In conclusion, don’t let the season’s traditional palette limit your creativity. Embrace the radiant allure of the Amarine and let your floral designs reflect the full spectrum of autumn’s beauty. As Teus Beekhuis puts it, “This flower is a celebration of fall — bold, beautiful, and full of life.” So, elevate your autumn offerings with the striking presence of the Amarine and surprise your clients with something truly special this season.
