Hippeastrum ID query

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?
