Common red Amaryllis

Post by Muhammad Arif Khan »

A friend asked for a few amaryllis bulbs, except the common red ones.
What is a common red Amaryllis?
I have a variety of red Hippeastrums including some I am trying to improve and would not give to anyone.
Which of the following would you call the common red?

Izhar, Yes, it was the only Hippeastrum Known here twenty years ago. My post was a food for thought to create interest.
Strange it is rare in USA now
