Here's the rest of the description of half the cross.

Nerine Mrs. Moore from J. T. Bennett-Peo, Esq.   This plant carried a very tall scape with a very full corymb of rosy-crimson flowers with long undulating segments.

Missed most of this particular wave of Nerines but here are the remaining three.  Some strangely coloured central stripes on the rosy pink and salmon.  Aside from the colours nothing to write home about.

3 nicely distinct colours, John.
I think nerines are one of the most worthwhile bulbs to plant in Melbourne as they are so adapted to the climate. Up here in the country we have more frost and the leaves need some protection. Last winter we didn't get flowers on the winter ones because of the frosts.
They are so easy to hybridize as well with their prominent anthers and the stigma which signal when it is receptive by splitting into three at the tip.

Hans,

How does it differ from the "normal" species humilis?  I love the species, such a cool stripe on the flower. ;D

Hans,

In that case, what I grow here as humilis is actually humilis var breachiae.  I didn't realise.  Mine looks nothing like your #22 posting, but exactly like your breachiae posting.  That is why I asked how it differed from the straight species, as it looked like mine which I thought WAS the straight species.  I really like the straight species, as it almost gives the effect of a dark throat on white.  When you originally posted that I just put it down to differences in lighting etc and a first flowering, not realising it was so different to mine.

Paul ,

I have just loooked in Kew notes ...N.breachiae was earlier a own species ...it is now included under N.humilis
Maybe if we could see the natural variation on the habitat we would also all put together ?

Yes, most likely.  It's always easier when you have time and experience behind you to see differences where there originally weren't any seen.  ;D  20/20 hindsight.
