I think that may be the "Reggae" strain, Paul, as in Jamaican music  8)

I had wondered that myself, but was given that spelling so have stuck with it.  Must check up and verify.

In 'Reggae' the filaments and style are creamy white (quoted from the book of Veronica Read).

Hippeastrum aulicum is flowering now, I love it because it is a real intense red with green in the middle and it is and evergreen one.

Here is one of my Hippeastrum. It is called 'Evergreen'.
It has given me 4 flower stems.

Thank you Maggi. :) I think it may be a while before it will flower again. The onion is smaller now than it was when I got it. So I will have to feed it for some time.

Thank you for the Welcome Paul, and I am using Anne.
The Hippeastrum has an interesting color. And I just had to have it. ;D
I have sown a couple of interesting Hippeastrums from Brazil  last year, but I will have to wait for some years to see them flower.

I think I have seen  this variety Giraffe on sale in the UK though I have not grown it.
I like the lovely violet coloured orchid we can see, too ...... what is it?

I really don't know Maggi. The label just says Orchid.
