Wow, great. I am very curious at your photo Kind regards Ton Wijnen The Netherlands -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] Namens J.E. Shields Verzonden: zaterdag 20 maart 2010 18:34 Aan: Pacific Bulb Society Onderwerp: [pbs] Hippeastrum brasilianum in Bloom My first flower on seed-grown Hippeastrum brasilianum is open. It is a long white trumpet, fragrant, with slightly frilly edges. I have the form with purple along the midrib on the outside of the sepals. I've never seen this species in bloom before! I guess I ought to go take a picture of it. I'm quite thrilled.
