Hippeastrum equestere?

More on the "orange" Hippeastrum. Today I was looking at a very similar
bloom on a Hipp. equestere from Monticello, grown by Dr. William C.
Welch, College Station, Tx. They are almost identical in size, color,
etc. but the anthers on the just-opened Monticello flowers are very
large and colored a dusty mauve. Are one or both of these equestere?
Do they have variants? Please help - Kevin or Alan - your thoughts?

My seed strain of "orange Hippeastrum" has begun to bloom. The parent
plant was found in the woods near Sealy (Central Texas), planted out
from a grandmother's garden. There are only two blooms per stalk,
leaves are small and rather low. This is the plant that has a
cream-colored "mask" at the throat. So far (several) seem true to
seed,
altho I do have other strains at work in the garden. More pics to
follow of them.
Who could tell me what this is?
