Hi ,

in year 2013 I have bought this plant as:
Hippeastrum aff. mandonii
...now first flower  :D

Hans

P.S. a friend has correct me ...this is not H.mandonii  :'(

Here is the story : seeds of this plants are collect near Cuzco and came to Mike Salmon
From there came this plants to other People

Here is something from PBS :
http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/HippeastrumSpeciesTwo
Please look for Hipp. spec. Cuzco

Also Tomorrow plants sells this plant :
http://www.tomorrowsplants.com/plants08.htm
look for the last plant on this page ..

So maybe my plant is X johnsonii ...or something similar .... :-\

H. mandonii must be more greenish or lime-green in the centre, but mandonii or not: nice flower!

My ordinary garden centre Hippeastrum just showing what you can achieve if you grow them on.  It goes outside to get baked in the summer and comes inside for the winter.  It is thoroughly neglected in a back room until the buds appear, at which time it gets some water.  When the flowers appear it gets pride of place in the living room.

These flowers are immensely "glamorous" in appearance, aren't they - and really quite readily available and growable  - I wish more folk would take the trouble to grow them on and get great displays in future years - it's a shame that so many are treated as "throwaway" plants.

A super specimen, Alan. We grow ours on but don't achieve a display like that, yet. They'll be relegated to the greenhouse this summer for a better baking than they get on the window sill.

when you grow these 'correctly' they tend to become rather invasive, in my experience they multiply exponentialy.  I used to have hundreds of these, but due to lack of time years ago I lost them all.  I'm restarting a collection now, mostly from seeds purchased on E-bay.  I will soon have two seedlings flower for the first time.
