>>>>Do any of your 'powellii' have pollen? I have another plant which I believe is a hybid which has produced pollen. I gather it may be semi fertile? Hi David, Yes they do produce pollen and I've used them as pollen donors to fertilise Amaryllis belladonna; fertile seed is produced and I've a few plants here, however I still have to flower them to make absolutely sure, I'm sure they'll turn out x Amarcrinum. The form of C. x powellii that I use for the cross was smuggled in from South Korea in 1926 by someone called Bill Francis. I've now named this form after him as it produces huge bulbs (15 1/2 inches circumference) and must be very hardy having survived here since its early import.
