bulb ...
« on: January 03, 2017, 10:09:59 AM »
Second post, second answer ...

Some years cultivated and in 2015 and 2016 the first flowers. First I thought,
this could be Amaryllis belladonna, but the filaments and the style are straight
(and the leaves are only nearly 20 cm long).

It growths together with the small wild form of for me unknown Hippeastrum.

Best regards

Rudi

PS: Third picture old flower, fourth picture young flower!

Hi Rudi,
I think this is probably Zephyranthes grandiflora, one of the so-called Rain lilies.

Hi Rudi ,

I agree with Paul - your plant is Z.grandiflora or Habranthus grandiflorus
Those plants are in trade as Zeph. robustus or Habr.robustus ...which is wrong
Your plant is a strange clone ...which is mostly not fertil

Hope this helps
Hans

Dear Paul and Hans,

thanks a lot, it is! And: I try to get seed, but the plants do not build up, yes.

Best wishes

Rudi
