Any ideas what hippeastrum variety this is? I have seen it in southern California at houses that were built in the '50s and '60s. Plants that look the same on the internet are being sold as 'heirloom'. The only clue I got was something that looked the same and the owner thought it was either 'Starlight' or 'Starburst'. She was in Florida. I can't find a picture of either. (Search engines just want to sell me any random amaryllis.) These pictures were take on consecutive years and one flower might be a couple days older than the other. I got the bulb from the woman next door several years ago.

I did some more looking around, and I think it is one of the Mead strains and has no other name.

Looks like Minerva to me.

But perhaps Sparticus?

But my guess is Minerva.

I think that it is Minerva. Minerva was introduced in 1962, which would make the time about right for gardens in the 60s.

My 'Minerva'

Pretty, but it doesn't have the green eye, unless it fades.

My Minerva has the green eye.

I don't know if I'd call mine yellow-green or yellow...

I do know it came recently from a grower in Peru.
I know we love positive I.D.'s but I'd expect variability in a bulb being sold by multiple vendors for 60 years. I also wonder how much cultural practices (soil, light, water, nutrients, temperature) change the appearance of bloom? Say, a green eye to a yellow eye?
I know in garlic, you can divide the same type of garlic from the same source, and give them to 12 farmers across U.S and canada, and you'll wind up with 12 possibly different looking bulbs at the end of the growing season, whose DNA is all statistically the same.
We need to cut a Hipp up, disperse the pieces far and wide, and compare the blooming pictures!

I know from my experience that amount of pink in apple blossom very depending on the amount of nutrients in the summer before bloom. Not enough, you get mostly white, a lot of them , you will get a lot of pink
