Amaryllis Belladonna

Sent to me by Siris a couple of weeks ago with bud intact and look they've opened!, Symba seems to like them too, redder than the pictures showing.

So pleased Symba seems to like the plant. Wylie thinks it is a Hippeastrum, not an Amaryllis, the name I was given on receipt of it x years ago. It is much redder, not orangey.

After seeing a photo of it, I'm not sure that it is a Hippeastrum, only that it isn't a Amaryllis belladonna.

Thanks Bloomer, he's always got his nose in something lol , had chocolate last night he loves chocolate wouldn't leave me alone till I gave him a taste little terror ;-)
Yes Siris definitely red the sun actually came out last night and no matter what angle it came out this colour.
Ooooo the mystery deepens wonder what it is Wylie.

If I am trying to photograph a red or purple plant, I try to shade it from the sun or do it in the evening.
