Hippeastrum papilio

From the family, Amaryllidaceae, having common name(s) associated with the genus; Butterfly Amaryllis.

In my opinion, one of the most striking of the species Hippeastrum. Reported to be evergreen and spring blooming, but mine seem to go dormant every summer, having a tendency to bloom in the fall instead of spring. I suspect it will stay evergreen in zones 9-10 and bloom in the spring. Upper petals are mostly maroon and maroon veined with lime green background and lower petals are mostly lime green. Ht. 18-24 inches. Hardy in zones 8, 9, 10.
