My understanding is it's a miniature pink Hippeastrum. But I can't vouch for its authenticity as a species. I acquired 6 bulbs almost 2 years ago, but they haven't bloomed for me yet. I killed some by overwatering last winter. And I think that caused the others not to bloom. Anyway, I haven't checked on them in months. If they're doing well I should have some extras to share with you Josh.
