What? It's red!

	your Hippeastrum headquarters...........

What? It's red!

So you bought an amaryllis (Hippeastrum) and it bloomed! But wait, it doesn't look like the picture in the catalog, on the box kit, or that display photo at the nursery. Expecting pink and got red? You purchased a yellow one and got something murky? You are not alone. Every year a substantial portion of amaryllis bulbs marketed are incorrectly labeled. The intent of this site is to photo-record commercially available Hippeastrum hybrids that are found in the marketplace (at least in the U.S.)...maybe you can finally figure out what it is you have! Just check the thumbnails in the main photo library, click on what interests you, then click on the image again to get the full size version.

Tip: Beware of impostors, so many cultivars that are not really in production are still marketed anyway. Some of the stand-ins are good, but prepare for some head-scratching when trying to figure out who is who!
