I've found one flower for you. It's a pink fuchsia called Carole Hipkin. If you type this name into Google, you can see a picture of it. Hope you like it.
Reply:There is bound to be a flower with the name Carole in the title. Ask at a local nursery or garden centre and you will probably find something. Lovely idea so I hope you find something and feel it's suitable. Take a look at the following link from www.rhs.org.uk (Royal Horticultural Society in the UK):

Please name me all the colors possible an amaryllis flower can be.?

Here's a website with pictures of the different colors: http://www.royalcolors.com/index.php?nav... Depending on where you shop, you may find flower colors such as raspberry, peach, salmon, and orange along with the traditional red, pink, and white.


"Flowers may be solid colors or brightened up with a stripe of white" . "Some have petal edges or throats with a contrasting color.


"In addition to the single forms, there are doubles, too, which have more layers of overlapping flower petals or their centers are frilled."


One example, is 'Dancing Queen', a double with up to five layers of ruffled red and white petals which look like a petticoat.


A new class of Amaryllis is Cybister, which has slender, exotic, spidery flowers. An example of this is 'Ruby Meyer' with its thin, ruby-red petals with chartreuse markings.


"Another group, Trumpet Amaryllis, has flowers that resemble an Easter lily, though with smaller flowers, and may also have a light fragrance," . "Other new choices include miniatures, which are smaller, shorter plants."

White through various shades of pink and red; also orange and salmon colours, along with deep burgundy and even picotees and striped flowers.
