Bea, I just found and uploaded my photo of Neon from 2011. Your bulb could be a variant of Neon, since Neon was introduced in 2009 according to emaryllis.com. I can't really get a good look at your photo since it is very dark. I remember that the Neon flower was fairly small, with a pale green throat and predominate white center "stripes" on the petals. This is one that was sold under three names: Eon, Neon, and Neon Rose. Another question. Your bloom doesn't look as if it unfolded completely, the edges are turned in. Did it ever unfold more and were all the blooms like this one? It could be a sign of a bulb that isn't totally healthy or it could be one of the cultivars in which the petals don't fold back as they age. I looked through my files. If it is a full-sized bloom, it reminds me of something like Cherries Jubilee, There are so many pink blooms with pink centers on the market, it would be impossible to ID, unless you find a similar photo on the seller's website. Sighing!
