Description
This knight's star (or Hippeastrum from the Greek root) is known under many different names:
knight's star lily, white amaryllis, belladonna lily or belladonna amaryllis.
All this names are misleading, because the hippeastrum is no lily and even no amaryllis. It is like the amaryllis a subspecies of the amaryllidoideae. They are at home in the Americas between northern Argentina and Mexico while their 'sisters' amaryllis are from South Africa.
