The New Amaryllis

From what we know from hearsay, the ancestors of these lived in South America. Those ancestors were happy little plants dwelling in their own happy homes. Then along came some bulb collectors, looking to introduce new species to the flourishing bulb trade. Those bulb collectors took those ancestral bulbs. Then those little bulbs got sold to selective breeders who took those bulbs and performed strange sex experiments with them. The end result is this.

We have no idea what this is for sure, but it may be a Hippeastrum. It is a present. It is still in its pot. Plants that are in pots can be moved around from one background to another. Crumby, move the pot over there.
