Hippeastrum cybister X papilio

Description - A very interesting cross! Stunning flowers with the colour of H. papilio (red and green combination) and the shape of H. cybister (thin petals, spider like). The plants grow more like H. cybister too, so they will need a fairly dry rest in Winter. Very few offsets and flowering sized (FS) bulbs are available. More images of Hippeastrum.....

Hippeastrum (cybister X papilio) X hybrida

Description - The first flowering of the above primary hybrid gave me the opportunity to dabble in some hybridising. Some flowers were self-pollinated, others crossed with H. papilio, and I also crossed them with one of Bruce Knights hybrid Hippeastrum (the pollen parent of the bulbs on offer). This cross should produce some interesting results! Third season bulbs. More images of Hippeastrum.....
