From the unique shape of the bloom, it looks like one of the H. species not a "hybrid" cultivar.

Yes I think so to, that they looks more of a specie but I can´t find any to compare with :o)
It have a very beautyful color I think. Subdued but shimmer colour.

Have talk to the seller, I is HIPPEASTRUM EQUESTRE I have bought, she say.
Here is a link to another seller in US

She say it was the same bulb. Or perhaps it can be a hybrid from this specie!

Yes, excellent seedseller, Mauro, I have some bulbs from his seeds, waiting from flowering still. Sylvia

Sylvia, his site is excellent for helping with the ID of many tropical bulbs.

Yes Dale, he has an wonderful homepage with many fine photos. I love your pink amaryllis to the right.

10 years, waiting? Very patient!

Yes so I am, when waiting for hippeastrum to grow and flower. And I can´t have them in my garden as you, very lovely pic of growing amaryllis in the garden and luxuriant foliage and flower.

Hippeastrum are not the most beautiful garden plant, until they bloom. Not many people grow them here.

We say here they looks like "not well-kept grass" in the windowsill, untill they flower, but until they flower, I can keep them behind the curtain. I think it is av very grateful potplant in my windowsill, and in the fall I put them into my storage in my garage, and there they rest until next spring, without any care. They are superb.
