Title: Hippeastrum reticulatum X [H. papilio x H. cybister]
Post by: Sempervivum on November 23, 2011, 08:17:59 PM

Hallo at all,
in a german plants forum I saw a photo of this hippeastrum:

I like this flower very much. The owner said, he bought it labelled as H. reticulatum X [H. papilio x H. cybister], but the source is no longer available.
Does anybody in this forum know a source in the EU to get this hippeatrum from?
Best regards - Ulrich

No, but I like it, I have seedlings of all three, perhaps in ten years?? :-\

Judging from where you live Ulrich, you should be growing Veltheimias. :)

What a stunning flower? I have them all so there is a task waiting to be put in action.

Good luck Heinie, my plants are still seedlings so I have some years to wait....

Very, Very beautiful

I have seedlings of Hippeastrum papilio x H. reticulatum var. striatifolium, hopefully they looks half as beautiful
