Bulbs: I would love to have some of the amaryllis red with white, 1 by kbaumle

Here is the other one. It's a hefty plant, and the bulb is really big, with already two starts of additional 'bulbs' at the base. I really need to stake it, but I don't have anything right now, so I used velcro tape to stabilize it for now. I have no clue what cultivar either of these are, since their tags don't say, they just have a picture of what they are. They could have put the name on them, since each tag shows actually what the bulb looks like, not just a generic amaryllis picture. Any clues for either one?

EDIT: I meant to add that this picture doesn't show how deep of red it is. They had some that were solid red the same color as the red in the striped one, but this one is a darker red.
The one in the pot behind the blooming one is a 'Papilio' that I just got from Brent & Becky's. I have that one in soil (only the bottom third or so of the bulb, with stones in the bottom of the pot for drainage).
