Ton Wijnen's mystery hippy...

The small,low resolution picture is inadequate for positive Id,but it appears to be H.Striatum.If the color is a light tangerine/salmon color,with a cream,fading to green center,it is more likely to be Striatum,than Petiolatum,because Petiolatum is more red than orange.Also, Striatum usually has a taller, slim scape and larger flowers.

Hello dear plantlovers
I have a question.
Is the Hippeastrum on the picture H. starkiorum?
Or another species? Puniceum? Petiolatum?
Who can help me?
Thank you very much
Kind regards
Ton Wijnen
