I have a couple of Hippies of uncertain identity. The first was bought at least 5 years ago from Walmart. For a while I thought it might be H. 'Amigo' because of the indistinct star, but I think the red is much too dark for that variety. It is nearly as dark as Benefica and is not even slightly pinkish. The flowers are sometimes irregularly shaped, and the bulbs produce a good number of offsets.

The other was purchased at a local garden shop as Christmas Story. When it bloomed, I assumed it was H. 'Ambiance', but I am not sure. It sets seed quite readily, which does not seem to be true of Ambiance, scapes were short, and one scape had 6 flowers (ususally 4 for Ambiance). Might mine be 'Amorice'?

Any ideas?
