Title: Unknown Amarillydaceae
Post by: Michael on September 21, 2008, 11:11:04 PM: Hello

Does anyone has any idea of what this bulb plant might be?

I do not have my camera with me today, so i had no other choice than taking these poor pictures (sorry) with my PC webcam.

The underside of the young leaves is a bit reddish

By the way is there any way of discovering if this is the species or the hybrid, just based on folliage?
Aand the flowers of both are similar? I have made a searc, and they mixt them together...

Post by: Michael on September 23, 2008, 01:23:42 PM: I bought my plant at a local store, last week. At first i didnt liked it, because i thought it was another variegated thing, butat a closer lok, i just realized that it was a very special plant, as the variegation pattern was only on the middle of the leaf and was constant. Then i brought it home!
