The flowers are pale pink with a mesh pattern. The edge of the petals is slightly wavy. Pedicels and ovaries are green with a yellow tinge.
Comment from Faust:
There are no pure Hippeastrum reticulatum var. striatifolium... at least I didn't see. Distinguish Hippeastrum reticulatum var. striatifolium от Hippeastrum reticulatum var. striatifolium Mrs. Garfield is simple. Hippeastrum reticulatum var. striatifolium it is a miniature species with unusually slow growth. And their flowers are different, if you see it, you can't confuse it. I have a hippeastrum caliptratum gave 10 leaves for the same time period Hippeastrum reticulatum var. striatifolium only produces a third leaf.

Elena Shcherbakova: Hippeastrum striatum 'Saltgo' MP 13135 from Mauro Peixoto of Brazil, grown from seed.
Now he has already grown up and with the next watering in the pot, right on the surface there were children crawling out from under the scales of the mother's onion to the surface and already covered with dark scales with a formed miniature bottom and even a leafy leaf! Look like lily bulbs! For the first time I observe this, and I have not seen a single photo of such detoxification on the network. After the photo shoot, I put the children to the mother and, when separating the upper scales at the very neck of the adult bow, I found another baby crawling almost to the surface.

Conclusion:
Not all types of hippeastrum are described in the article. Some of the hippeastrum species, as studied by botanists, were assigned to other genera, such as Habranthus, Sprekelia, Zephyranthes, etc.
Unfortunately, there is very little information on many species, and many species are at risk of extinction.
Species hippeastrums cannot be found in industrial, commercial sales. They are grown by foreign farms that are engaged in the preservation of rare botanical species.
