I just restarted my collection. So far I only have the following:
Hippeastrum blossfeldiae
Hippeastrum cybister
Hippeastrum vittatum
Hippeastrum iguazuanum (seedlings)
and two plants of Hippeastrum reticulatum var. striatifolium

Mostly adults that I fertilize. Someday they will bloom.

Hippeastrum 2013

A new summer flowering hippeastrum for me this year, a nice hippeastrum vittatum hybrid called "red fire", supposedly hardy to -5°c, but i dont think i will risk that, and will bring them inside over winter, even though i grow them in a summer border now with my crinum, eucomis and late flowering lilies!

Having grown most of the species and many hybrids, Hippeastrum bulbs freeze to mush below O C. Even X johnstonii bulbs are tender.

Quite unexpected, I see a seedpod maturing on my H. Sonatini Swanlake.  The bulbs were blooming inside my greenhouse, I think there was another Sonatini hybrid also flowering at the same time.  I did not pollinate the flowers as i did not expect these to be fertile, so credits are to mother nature that has taken care of making this happen.  Hopefully the seeds will be viable, I'm quite curious to see what will eventually grow from these seeds.  Will keep you posted on germination & in a few years on flowering ...
