Thanks for answering. I bought mine in Aug but it didn't come for at least another month so they probably were from the same batch. I doubt that I will get another stalk from mine, I have to worry about rooting it now!

Hippeastrum striatum 'Saltro' MP 13135 was planted April 18, 2012 ..... waiting!

Can't wait!!!!

How beautiful :-))))) Mine looks very similar and they're as small and dainty as yours..

Adorable!!! So different than mine from Komoriya. They couldn't give me a definitive answer as to why mine looked so different, they just said that sometimes they come with a red throat!! I love the daintiness of yours!!!

Fred, Donna , Thank you! His gentle beauty is mesmerizing, it seems the photo does not convey its fragility. I have other clones of wild striatum, wondering how much to wait for their flowering)) I want to compare!

so small ! lovely

Hello Bea! Yes)) Mauro indicated in the description of this clone:Plant size 50cm Flower size 6-12 cm. Maybe it's his lower size)), the first bloom yet. Bulb itself almost 6 cm.

Hi All,

Just for a comparison, this is one of my "taller" striatum at about 17".

This is petiolatum, a very close relative or possibly sub-species.

It's an adorable miniature that's barely 10" tall and the flower is about 3" across.

This is a profile to show how similar it looks to striatum.

Thank you Fred for sharing ! We can compare different clones. Your exquisite curly ! Wave on the petals is very beautiful !

Beautiful Fred, thanks for taking the time to show us ! Everything looks so lush !

Beautiful everything everyone!

Donna that's a gorgeous bloom, love the form of the petals.

Fred, how interesting to see even more differences in this delicate variety. Your plants all look so healthy and happy!!

I was so afraid that my bulb wouldn't root but was so pleased to pull it from its cup of warm perlite to fine this!!

Donna,

Wow talk about healthy!!! Those roots look wonderful!!!

Fred

Fred , your petiolatum is lovely , I realy love all those 'striatums like' , they are the most gracious for me.

I grow a tall one , maybe 50" at list , obtained from Mauro's seeds too , named : (petiolatumXsaltao)Xself , sorry we can't see the container on the picture !

I am not sure my bulbs are actually adult size (5 cm diameter), and I was wondering hos large can a striatum bulb be ?

Donna , I was so in love with your 'striatam' that I ordered one...I should get it tomorrow, I wish it will be as healthy as yours

Béa, I'm sure it will be fine and with a red throat!!! My fingers are crossed!!

Thank you Donna , It's always a surprise with Komoryia !!!

Congratulations to all of you with your beautiful striatums! I don't grow them (yet) but maybe I should...

Anja

I had to try Donna's 'Straitam' , so I ordered 2 from komoryia , the first one is blooming now , but not as expected !!! wre those bulbs obtained from seeds and Donna's got a unique one ??

Very pretty but not like mine. Well, you've got one more chance to get a red throat, I'll keep my fingers crosses.......I almost bought another, now I'm glad I didn't. I guess I just won the lottery with mine...☺☺☺

You definitely did, Donna! :-)))

Hi all, newbie alert!

I've been browsing this forum and drooling over the gorgeous photos, trying to put a name to one of my Amaryllis. Thanks to this thread I now believe I have a variety/hybrid of H.Striatum.

Apart from the colouring, the main clue for me is the fact that they produce more baby bulbs each year than flowers! I can't give them away fast enough.

It also amazes me how quickly the youngsters come into flower if left attached to the parent.

This one is only just over an inch in diameter:

This year I have noticed some red marks on the tip of some of the leaves and flower buds:

Wow that's amazing!!! I think it may have been cross bred with a rabbit :-)))

Wow!! Lovely flower. Are the all the same?

I would check the one with red. Could be a problem. You might try removing some of the brown covering on this bulb to get a better look at the health of the bulb.

-J

Fred, thanks - they certainly are prolific! My wife works at a school and just about every office in the place now has at least one of these in the window.

Jstropic, yes, most of the ones in the picture are this variety, all descended from one bulb I bought 3-4 years ago. I have about half a dozen different types altogether. The only other one in flower at the moment is Carmen, everything seems to be late this year for some reason.

Regarding the red spots, I will do as you suggest and see what I can find. Thanks

Very nice :-)))

Drat! Further investigation has revealed that I appear to have a mite infestation.

I will have to do some research and see if there is any way of saving the infected bulbs. :(

The little buggers!!!! You can try spraying them with neem oil, that'll suffocate the buggers.

could it be Naughty Lady ? what a nice variety , I love all those striatum relates :-)

I have a few bulbs that I believe to be H Striatum or hybrid thereof. The bulbs are very small, very round in shape. So far, only two blooms at a time and the flowers have a lovely swooping profile with a salmon coloration. I'll post photos the next time one blooms (the current bloom is in its last stages and is currently being drowned out in the California rain). I bought the bulbs off of eBay last year.

Hi Tina,

Yes please post pictures when they bloom and good luck with the rain. I know it's awful, but in the log run you'll definitely benefit form all the rain you're getting :-)))

Fred

Fred, the upside of all the rain is that we're no longer in drought! I hope that the snow pack melts somewhat slowly, otherwise parts of California will be flooded again as the weather warms up!

Fred, thanks for the Neem oil suggestion, I will look into that.

agapanthe64, Naughty Lady is a distinct possibility, thanks for the suggestion. I like that name so I think that's what I'll call them regardless.

One week later and my harem of 'Naughty Ladies' are showing off their finery.

I think I will have to give a few more away before I'm overrun.

Oh what a beautiful display :-))))) I love their sunny and bright faces :-))))

Very pretty and very prolific, they're living up to their name!

Beauties !

H-Striatum-saltao13135 & 13152 Finally I will see the difference))

Elena ,I can't wait to see the difference! Are these seed grown?

Two clones of the same species, photo for comparison.From seeds to the first flowering 5 years.

These bring back memories. My grandmother had a large pot of striatum, and they were as said, absolutely prolific. She never gave them dormancy, they remained evergreen, and flowered usually 2 or 3 times a year (several bulbs in pot). Everyone in the family had them at one time or the other, I'm not aware of any remaining from her (she died about thirty years ago).

Adorable Elena! My version with the red throat is not acting like the rest of yours, no offsets and only one leaf!! I'm beginning to have doubts that mine might even be a striatum!! A hybrid for sure at the very least.

Thank you))

Donna, maybe you need to wait a bit and the offset will appear.

I also like these mini hippeastrums, they grow without a period of rest, but before flowering, almost all the foliage itself wilted. All summer they live in my open sun, and in the winter I illuminate them with a lamp, the sun is not enough for us))

PS dbarron, a very nice story about your grandmother.

H Striatum Petiolatum

Huh. Looks like the color is quite variable between striatum, petiolatum, and puniceum. Then there's the less common curitibanum that looks similar too based on photos. I have a "iguazuanum" and "stylosum" that both flowered and looked like these instead of what I was supposed to have. I was underwhelmed and didn't take pictures at the time. Mine did not have the color saturation that most of yours do, Elena. Still trying to get an ID on them. Has anyone had these produce lots of small bulblets? I have 4 bulbs that belong to one of these species and they make so many little bulblets, but I still have not been able to get any of them to produce any leaves or roots reliably.

Hello everado! Yes, there is a wide variety within the Striatum species. It's plants grown from Brazilian seeds. They give a large number of children. There are no problems with the rooting of young bulbots. I first dry them a little, and then plant them separately in a pot. But even those that I do not take away from his mother, too, are well rooted themselves.

A color of the striatum petiolatum in the photo not bright, I think because it blooms for the first time and already in the room. In full sun the flower might have been brighter, but we are have already cold weather.
