Here is Hippeastrum papilio x brasilianum blooming!

I have an H. bukasovii that's starting to open :)  Will post pictures in a few days I'm sure!

Here is a different view :)  It's beautiful, sadly it doesn't carry the scent of H. brasilianum but it is semi-trumpet form :)

Thanks Armin!

Armin,

  I see another forming so yes, three in total!  Usually it flowers four per scape, we will see what the next two yield!

Josh,
first time I see a flower of this species. Wow - impressive and interesting form of the stamens 8) :o
What diameter has one flower and what height has it in total?

Armin,

  Thank you!  The stamens hadn't matured yet which is why they look the way they do, once open the pollen is yellow.

  I'm not quite sure of the size of the flower, I will measure it this evening once I'm home!

Beautiful Hans, is this a seed grown plant? 

Alessandro, thank you for the compliment!  Isn't it exciting to see a first bloom when you've waited so long!?
