Amaryllis/Hippeastrum

Please identify this Lowes Mislabel

12 years ago

Both were purchased at Lowes ... the striped one in the foreground was bought recently for a dollar. It was in those new kits with white pots and labeled Red Lion.

It had grown out of the pot and twisted and grew lopsided. Two of the petals are torn. Poor thing... I just had to bring it home even though I don't have the space (sound familiar?)

It Doesn't quite look like Minerva. Can someone please identify it. THANK YOU!

At the top of the messages is a fact thread (faq v.3.0). In that thread is a link to a site that has lots of pictures. Check it out and see if you can find one that matches. The same thing happened to me with Target box bulbs. I bought a Minerva and a Red Lion. Neither one looks like the one it is suppose to be. Good luck.
