Title: Hippeastrum
Post by: Randolph on January 03, 2017, 09:09:01 AM

Hello,

my first visit. Does anyone know this Hippeastrum? I am cultivating
(it is said to be an wild form) since 10 years, flowers in 2014 and 2016.

I'm grateful for any help!

Rudi

Hi Rudi ,

I believe it is not a Hippeastrum ...in my eyes is this Cyrtanthus elatus ( former Vallota )

Here is a link to PBS :

Rudi ,

I'm always glad if  I can help  :D

My plant of C.elatus is also always shy with flowering ...

Good luck with growing
Hans
