I am glad you liked it.
All of my old plants suffered a set back on change to pots, I hope they will perform better next year.

Common name Amaryllis, Botanical name Hippeastrum.

Could it be that hippeastrum is the genus and amaryllis is the specific variety that is indoor growing?

From wikipedia
there was confusion amongst botanists over the generic names Amaryllis and Hippeastrum, one result of which is that the common name "amaryllis" is mainly used for cultivars of the genus Hippeastrum, widely sold in the winter months for their ability to bloom indoors. Plants of the genus Amaryllis are known as belladonna lily, Jersey lily, naked lady, amarillo or, in South Africa, March lily due to its propensity to flower around March

Hippeastrum /ˌhɪpiːˈæstrəm/[1] is a genus of about 90 species and 600+ hybrids and cultivars of bulbous plants in the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae,[2] native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas from Argentina north to Mexico and the Caribbean. Some species are grown for their large showy flowers. For many years there was confusion amongst botanists over the generic names Amaryllis and Hippeastrum, one result of which is that the common name "amaryllis" is mainly used for cultivars of this genus, which are widely used as indoor flowering bulbs. The generic name Amaryllis applies to bulbs from South Africa, usually grown outdoors.

I love to create confusion

Beautiful. This season I was looking for amaryllis seeds so did pollinate. I noticed the doubles are mostly sterile. How did you manage to get your own double hybrids?

In doubles you do not find stighma, but you do find pollen sac in some so use the pollen on a mother of your liking,
Some semi doubles have stigma, for better results I try them as mother plant.
