Title: Hippeastrum spec. or a hybrid ?
Post by: Hans J on November 08, 2012, 12:51:16 PM

Hi all ,

I'm not shure if I should  ;D or  :'( ?

I have before many years sowing from PBS BX ( August 2005 ) this plant as Hippeastrum papilio ...it grows well and now I have the first flowers ....but I'm a bit shocked ...thats never a H.papilio  :o
Any ideas ?
I suppose there is going something wrong - maybe a mixed seed portion ?
Anyway it is a nice surprise in this grey November days 8)

Have fun
Hans

I'm so sorry for what happened to you Hans, it's frustrating to wait so many years and then "this"...indeed it's a nice Hippeastrum, but... ::)

Regards
Cris
