Hippeastrum yungacense? Kiara
J.E. Shields (Mon, 07 Jan 2013 13:01:53 PST)
The correct spelling is "yungacense" but I am not familiar with the form or
hybrid "Kiara." Yungacense is a good species in its own right.

David Pilling added the photo to the wiki. I

I couldn't find a reference for Hippeastrum
yungacensis, but there is a photo of Hippeastrum
yungacense (Cárdenas & I.S.Nelson) Meerow collected in Bolivia here.

I've added Ton's photo to a wiki page, but could
use some help with the text and understanding about the plant he is growing.
