Amaryllis
''Amaryllis'' () is the only genus in the subtribe Amaryllidinae (tribe Amaryllideae). It is a small genus of flowering bulbs, with two species. The better known of the two, '' Amaryllis belladonna'', is a native of the Western Cape region of South Africa, particularly the rocky southwest area between the Olifants River Valley and Knysna. For many years there was confusion among botanists over the generic names ''Amaryllis'' and ''Hippeastrum'', one result of which is that the common name 'amaryllis' is mainly used for cultivars of the genus ''Hippeastrum'', widely sold in the winter months for their ability to bloom indoors. Plants of the genus ''Amaryllis'' are known as belladonna lily, Jersey lily, naked lady, amarillo, Easter lily in Southern Australia or, in South Africa, March lily due to its propensity to flower around March. This is one of numerous genera with the common name 'lily' due to their flower shape and growth habit. However, they are only distantly related ...

Amaryllis (Marilyn Crispell Album)

The trio features rhythm section Gary Peacock and Paul Motian.ECM discography accessed November 14, 2011 Background According to Crispell, four of the pieces on the album were improvised. In an interview, she recalled: "The title piece, 'Amaryllis,' sounds completely written, but it's not at all. Gary started a bass line, I came in with something, and we ended up playing the same lines at the same time. That's a very intimate thing. Something that I think is not as easy to pull off in a performance. It can be done, but the intimacy of the recording studio was particularly conducive to complete improvisation." Receptio ...

Opp Amaryllis!
Opp Amaryllis! (Up, Amaryllis!) is one of the Swedish poet and performer Carl Michael Bellman's songs from his 1791 collection, ''Fredman's Songs'', where it is No. 31. The song is a graceful pastorale in rococo style, involving a sleeping nymph who is invited to come fishing upon the sea's stormy wave. In reality, the nymph is a Swedish woman, Wilhelmina Norman, the stormy wave is a Swedish waterway, and the progression from shore to fishing-boat can equally well be read as a seduction. It is one of Bellman's best-known and best-loved songs, and has been recorded by musicians including Folke Andersson and Edvard Andreasson. Context The eponymous character Amaryllis is taken from classical tales. In Ancient Greek literature, Theocritus's ''Idylls'' portray a goatherd singing a serenade outside the cave of the nymph Amaryllis. In Ancient Roman literature, Amaryllis was a heroine in Virgil's ''Eclogues'', a suite of pastoral poems. Song Melody and verse form The song is in ...

Amaryllis (catamaran)
''Amaryllis'' was a catamaran sailboat designed by Nathanael Greene Herreshoff and launched in 1876. It was an innovative and experimental vessel for its time, featuring two parallel hulls connected by a platform or bridge deck. Herreshoff designed Amaryllis to test the performance and potential advantages of multihull designs. In 1876, ''Amaryllis'' participated in the New York Centennial Regatta, a prestigious sailing competition held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the United States.

Following the regatta, the organizers of organized sailing competitions, such as the America's Cup, decided to ban multihull sailing vessels ...
