Help with Hippie ID

Nottingham, MD(Zone 7a)

I dug up a few small bulbs from my Aunt's pot of Amaryllis back in November. She's had the same plant(multiplying!) for 30+ years, so I had to have some.:) I wasn't expecting any blooms because I set it in a relatively low light section of my living room. I'm glad it did bloom, although small, so that I could see what the flower looks like. My aunt had previously described it as "red". Well, it looks more reddish orange to me and there's the pretty yellow center. Does anyone have any maybe or positive IDs? Thanks!

I think it may be 'Voodoo'/Naughty Lady Amaryllis. Great!

I agree. It seems to be our American "Voodoo". The color is red-orange rather than true red. The distinctive red markings at the tepal bases differentiate it from the "true" 'Voodoo' in the Dutch bulb trade.
