This form of Hippeastrum puniceum was collected from Amazonas, Brazil and is an understory plant. It grows best under shade (about 60-70%). Possibly this is not actually H. puniceum. It crosses w/ other diploid species of Hippeastrum. Asexually, it produces runners w/ bulbils as well as daughter bulbs. Note the uncharacteristic short stamens and style.
