It looks like a Minerva type, or Mambo to me.....

I raised my voice,
for "Mega Star" elsewhere,
but "Mambo" is a good suggestion
TOO!

I am pretty sure it is Mega Star....ive looked at lots and lots of pictures...the petals are different on a Mambo...the Mambo has a triangular shaped 3 petals in front and 3 in back.....I've compared with other Minerva, Gilmar, Mega Star and i think Mega Star is it :)
Thank you for your help!! I would probably be still searching!!

I'm back to unknown!! You could be correct on either....this particular one:

11 inch flower scape
5 inch from petal to petal
21 cm bulb
Im so lost!

Sandra,
I really doubt that it is Mega Star..first of all as far as I know, Mega Star is fairly new in the US. I think bulbs that you get at big box stores are varieties that have been around for many years..Mega Star is a really dark red, and from bulb to bulb, Minerva can have several variations..and as for Mambo, they are very interchangeable with Minerva..my vote still goes to Minerva, but keep on looking..and of course, this is just my opinion...

Mega Star..these pictures are sort of orangey, in reality Mega Star is a much deeper red..I still can't photograph reds properly and I never doctor up the colors...

The guy that I bought these from buys in bulk from Brazil and The Netherlands...he had some that were not tagged and this is what i endend up with ....I had a few bulbs marked incorrectly as well....One Aphrodite turned out to be a Fairy Tale.

Here are some better pictures....the inside picture (the petals are starting to wither now)

2nd picture is a better shot whent he flower was open!

Thanks, for helping you guys!! I hope to soon figure it all out!
