Please Help Me ID My Babies

Southern, LA(Zone 8b)

I know some of you live and breath Hippeastrum.
So if you could please help me, I would be so
thankful.

So many of these look so similar, to me.

Thanks,
Mary


Red Lion?

And this one looks similar to johnsonii, but
the petals are much rounder.

A lot of things help in IDing them. Size of the flower, how close the color of the photo is, to the color of the actual bloom. Also did the bulb put up leaves before it bloomed, how quickly did it bloom, and where you got it. Box stores are more likely to have the older varieties, though they can occasionally have some real exotic surprises. In mail order, anything goes, variety wise. All this stuff helps to narrow down the list of possibilities.

'Red Lion' is definately a possibility for #1.

Can't say I recognize #2 as a currently available hybrid, but I *really* like it! Wonderful texture and excellent form!

Thanks so much Raydio!
I appreciate it.
Amaryllis is a new love for me and I've
fallen hard.
