Reviews for "The Amaryllis Revolution: How Breeders are Creating New Varieties"

1. Emma - ★☆☆☆☆

I was really disappointed with my purchase of the Magical touch amaryllis. The flowers were supposed to be vibrant and lush, but they arrived looking wilted and sad. The packaging was also subpar, with some of the leaves and petals getting crushed during transit. I followed the instructions carefully, but the flowers didn't bloom as promised and instead started wilting further. I reached out to customer service, but they were not helpful at all. Overall, a waste of money and a big disappointment.

2. James - ★★☆☆☆

I had high hopes for the Magical touch amaryllis, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The plant arrived in good condition, but the blooms were not as vibrant and magical as advertised. The color was dull and the petals didn't fully open. Despite following the care instructions provided, the flowers didn't last as long as expected and started wilting within a week. For the price I paid, I expected a more remarkable and long-lasting display.

3. Sophie - ★☆☆☆☆

I regret purchasing the Magical touch amaryllis. The flowers were not only disappointing, but they also didn't match the description and photos provided. The petals were smaller and less vibrant than expected. Additionally, the stems were weak and couldn't support the weight of the blooms properly, causing them to droop. I followed the care instructions diligently, but the flowers still didn't last more than a few days. Save your money and purchase a different variety of amaryllis instead.

4. Michael - ★★☆☆☆

I love gardening and have had success with various plants, but the Magical touch amaryllis was a letdown. The plant arrived healthy and the blooms initially looked promising. However, after a few days, the flowers started fading and withering. Despite providing the necessary care, the blooms didn't last as long as expected. I was also disappointed with the lack of customer support when I reached out for advice. Overall, not worth the price and effort.
