The first looks more like Hippeastrum puniceum to me. H. striatum is quite variable and H. petiolatum is probably mainly distingueshed from striatum (if it is in fact a different species) but reproducing mainly fro bulbils. The second looks like reginae to me, but I haven't grown reginae myself if at least 20 years. Both of your bulbs look quite nice, in any case! Jim S.
