Hello
While not literally a bulb, I wondered if anybody on here grows Dioscorea? I'm trying to improve my Dioscorea collection, and one I'm particularly looking for, is Dioscorea batatas variegata, which I lost several years back.
Thanks! Jude

The third bloom appears to have some of the characteristics of both Reginae and 

Vittattum.You have some beautiful hybrids.I would have to observe a species for 

at least a year,including its bloom cycle,before I would even think about 

calling it by name,without a dna Itentification.

If they were sold to you as species,and not hybrids,from a reliable source,then 

the weight of identification is far greater on the side of species.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your comments. I agree that Hippeastrum flower

No 1 is somewhat similar to Hippeastrum puniceum. However, I wonder

about its bright red petals and dark red eye in the throat. I have

other Hippeastrum puniceum with orange petals and cream throat and

they looks different.  It is very difficult for me to clarify flower

No2. Some people told me that is Hippeastrum Johnsonii. In my area,

they make a mistake by giving it the name of Hippeastrum equestre. The

third flower is a hybrid with 6 flowers/flower stalk. It it a hybrid

of H. vitatum?

Best regard,

Pham
