James,
thanks for the reply. For what it's worth, the first plant does produce a huge number of bulbils.

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!
