Amaryllis/Hippeastrum

Can you help identify this?

11 years ago

Hi all,

Earlier bought some amaryllis in a mix from Van Engelen and other sources, but they don't have any individual labels in the bag. So I'm waiting for the flowers to bloom to identify them. I only bought a few reds, and this one doesn't seem to match Floris Hekker, Benfica, Red Peacock, or the miniature Vesulvisus. It is more of a red-orange with big blooms, definitely not a miniature. What do you think it is?

Very pretty My, at first I thought it was Naranja, the color is similar but yours has those frilly petaloids in the center where Naranja doesn't. Here is my Naranja but I think yours is nicer. Now you say it's a red/orange well, Naranja is just orange.

I'm still waiting on 2 seedpods to open, I haven't forgotten you!!

Rilona is the only orangy-colored hippie I saw on emaryllis.com with the petaloids, but it has a very different throat to the flower. Rilona is also a softer color and more crepe-y texture. I couldn't find anything that appeared to be a good match. -Tina
