Hippeastrum ID query

The first looks more like Hippeastrum puniceum to me. H. striatum is quite
variable and H. petiolatum is probably mainly distingueshed from striatum
(if it is in fact a different species) but reproducing mainly fro bulbils.

The second looks like reginae to me, but I haven't grown reginae myself if
at least 20 years.

Both of your bulbs look quite nice, in any case!

Hi All,

Can anyone help me confirm IDs on some Hippeastrum blooming in my
greenhouse?

1. In 2013, I received small offset bulbs of two Hippeastrums from BX341.
341-24 was Hippestrum petiolatum, NNBH1304. 341-25 was Hippeastrum
striatum. Due to carelessness while unpacking, I may have mixed up the
tags. One is blooming now:

Is there any hope of figuring out which plant this is?

2. I recently purchased a plant labeled H. reginae from one of the general
bulb vendors (because Telos was sold out). Do you think it is correctly
labeled?
