I have been eyeing this variety at eBay from a few sellers in Thailand because I could not find it at local nursery here.
Hehehe .... today is definitely my lucky day! I dropped in at a local nursery to buy a few bags of potting soil ... as usual, I would walk around the nursery just to browse around and see if I could find any new interesting plants. I walked to the back of the nursery, to the the section where there was the nurseryman's work area ... YAAY! I saw this orange hippeastrum that had creamish yellow centre ... the center is a knigh star shape, and the blooms measuring 4 inches.
The price tag was RM5.00 but managed to bargain it down to RM4.00 per polibag. If I were to buy it from Thailand, it might cost me more than RM30, including postage.
Here are the blooms
