"RARE" Hippeastrum nearing bloom

While those "contributing" to the pbs site discussion about ipheion, I
have the following (among others more common) Hippeastrum about to
bloom: miniatum, intiflorum, and goianum. Needless to say, I am
extremely interested to see these in bloom. I have had the H.
intiflorum bloom for the last four years. I have even managed to
germinate about 2 dozen seedlings from an"off season blooming." (No
other Hippeastrum was blooming at the time and I think that I can
safely say that they are H. intiflorum seedlings.) I have not had nor
seen either H. miniatum or H. goianum bloom. Dennis Tsang has a
beautiful picture of H. miniatum posted on the IBS gallery, but I
cannot find a picture of H. goianum anywhere.

Needless to say, I will do my best to take pictures of both miniatum
and goianum when they do bloom. Yes, they will be added to the wiki.
