Hippeastrum Equestre or Puniceum - red

I have been trying to find an ID for this widely available here. It somehow resembles the species Hippeastrum Gracile.

It is red, the bloom measuring about 4 inches, on an 12 inches scape. The colour is darkish red, with creamish turning to green throat. Loves to multiply.

Here are the pictures

  1. Hi, I am from Vietnam. Thank you for sharing beautiful Hippeastrum picture. I can see red puniceum in Vietnam and I wonder if it is a true puniceum.
