I received these bulbs (see the picture attached) from a friend a few years ago. He identified them as "some Nerine, I don't remember which." I had seen his bulbs blooming previously, but, that was before I got amaryllid fever, and all I really remember about the bloom is it was small, red and Nerine-like. I have been waiting for my bulbs to bloom so that I could identify the specific Nerine, but have had no blooms. I recently saw a specimen of Lycoris radiata at a local conservatory, and realized that the foliage looked just like my "Nerine." The posted picture of the plant blooming fit with what I remember of the plant's bloom. Are there Nerine's that have a lighter green leaf midrib, or is that more typical of the Lycoris family. I'm suspecting the identification as Nerine is incorrect because, over this past summer, he had some Hymenocallis narcissiflora in bloom, and also identified it as "some Nerine."
