Hi All,

Can anyone help me confirm IDs on some Hippeastrum blooming in my
greenhouse?

1.  In 2013, I received small offset bulbs of two Hippeastrums from BX341.
341-24 was Hippestrum petiolatum, NNBH1304.  341-25 was Hippeastrum
striatum.  Due to carelessness while unpacking, I may have mixed up the
tags.  One is blooming now:

Is there any hope of figuring out which plant this is?

2.  I recently purchased a plant labeled H. reginae from one of the general
bulb vendors (because Telos was sold out).  Do you think it is correctly
labeled?
