| Just got it from a local nursery ... orangish color. However, the throat is so distinctively creamish yellow. The blooms measure 4" across on a tiny scape ..
Is this the true Hippeastrum Puniceum? I wonder ...
The bloom on the left is on the verge of fading ...
Grateful if somebody could ID it for me, otherwise, just enjoy the photos! Hatta |

| Thanks Del for the link and the info. You are so helpful :-) The blooms and the scape show similar characteristics to the the third picture of your first link ... so I think I will, for the time being, tag mine as Hippeastrum Puniceum :-) http://plants.usda.gov/java/largeImage?imageID=hipu_002_ahp.tif Thanks Hatta |
