Your Hybrid Hippeastrum appears to resemble Cherry Nymph which has eight inch
flowers,however it is not miniature.It may be an unnamed variety.It is quite
pretty,whatever it is.

I recently bought this Hippeastrum as "Red Amaryllis" at a local plant
nursery. I asked the shop assistant if she would find out the full name
and explained that it actually was called a Hippeastrum.

Have just been talking with her as she checked and the growers got the
bulbs in a consignment just labelled "mixed red Amaryllis". Doesn't say
much for the growers, however, I would like to know the name of this
dwarf Hippeastrum. There is no white on the flower, it is pure red.
The flower is 20cms tall (8")
