Yup, it does look like Hippeastrum 'Mr. Hughes'. Like JT said, it's origins were from a hybridizer who passed away. As it was originally relayed to me, the original plant was found afterwards while cataloging his collection and then named after him. It's a pretty uncommon cultivar - I'm not sure how widespread it is.

Mine should be blooming pretty soon, I just noticed yesterday that it has a bloom stalk emerging.
