I have half-hearted grown some hippeastrum over the years but, didn't really get into it.

But, I had ordered Breck's hardy mix and through an error in shipping received 4 boxes of them instead of one. They realized the error and said to keep them.

I must say I like the smaller flowers as they seem much more in balance with the leaves/bulb than the large flowering bulbs that are kinda ho-hum to me and look weird always leaning one way or another from being top heavy. (No offense to those who like these)

Are there other types that are smaller flowering like this? I have been impressed with these although they didn't bloom last year but, this year they are all sending up 2-4 scapes (Helios has 4 flowers on each scape and Ballentino has 6 per scape).They also have a lot of offsets and I have never seen any that seem more in balance with the size of everything else and I like this a lot.
