is is different from other amaryllis ? In Zone 10-11 does it has leaves in summer (like other amaryllis ) or leaves are dying ?

It seems like a very rare type of this beautiful family of plants

That is the peruvian lily. It is in the plant database under the name Eucrosia bicolor. I've have never seen one.

I seen the database, and some data on the net as well. There is very little information, and most talking about growing the plant in area 7-9. I want to grow it outside all year around

I got some 3 medium bulbs, and 4-5 small bulbs, for now planted them all as all other amaryllis bulbs.

sorry for loading this page again, but my bulbs ended their dormancy, and green leaves are appearing. I be-leave that this year I will not see any flowers, my bulbs are under the minimum size rage (10.7-12.5 cm in circumference), as seen in this pdf.

A lot of not conclusive information on the web about growing this specie. Some says only partial light/filtered light is needed, some says that full sun light is needed. I will have to do some experiment , I have no choice.

From what the Dutch bulb/rhizome experts told me (these guys are rarely if ever wrong) all Eucrosia bicolor are clones of the same individual as nobody managed to get the plant to go to seed in captivity yet. That's why there's limited interest in growing them, as showy hybrids are the backbone of the bulb/rhizome trade.

As far as cares go E. bicolor needs filtered sunlight. This means full sun with, say, a white curtain in the middle. Direct hot scorching sun will cause the plant to dry up quickly, and you don't want that to happen as this is a plant that needs plenty of water during growing season.
E. bicolor has the same requirements as Zantedeschia (Arum lilies) to flower, meaning a dry winter dormancy to trigger blooming in the Spring.

Sorry for not being able to tell you more but with little interest in growing these plants commercially information are very hard to come by.

thank you, I grow them outside, so curtain is out of question. I will put them on the table, it is almost in the shade most of a day (only 1-2 h of sun in the morning).

About cloning I found this data as well on the net. My interest is not cloning of them flowers, only the beauty of them.

When you propagate a plant by cuttings, separating bulbils or dividing rhizomes... that's a clonal reproduction tecnique.
Unless there's a topical virus-inducted mutation you'll end up with an exact genetic double of the parent.
