I have a few dozen Hippeastrum that bloom regularly for me each year. I enjoy them a great deal though the winter months and into spring. Here are a couple nice ones. One is called 'Picotee', which I've had for over 20 years. The pure white one is called 'Christmas Gift'. It is new to my collection. I was very impressed when it bloomed with those HUGE flowers!

Thank you both. Angela, they are true Hippeastrum......hollow-stemmed. No fragrance that I can detect. That would be really nice; but, I still enjoy them a great deal, even without a fragrance.
 
I love these Amaryllis!
Used to have a few, but they lost competition for space to Paphiopedilum. lol

It must be quite the sight to see a few dozen of them in bloom!
 
Happy, if the stem is hollow, it's an Hippeastrum. Amaryllis have a solid stem among other different characteristics.

John, all you get with Hipps if they have a fragrance is
a yellow nose. ;>)

I'm just calling them by their common trade name.
Amaryllis.
