Hippeastrum Dancing Queen

This was one of our surprises!  I bought a Hippeastrum Nymph and received a Hippeastrum Dancing Queen.....alot of mix-ups seem to happen when you buy bulbs...its not an uncommon thing.

Here is the bloom starting....back when we thought this Dancing Queen was a Nymph :)

Hippeastrum - A bit of a mix :)

At first glance these two Hippies may look alike.  Liberty is a deeper shade of red than Red Lion.
