>>>>>>Are one or more of the 'Hebron Farm' hybrids not Rhodohypoxis x Hypoxis ? I'll dig out my old notes if I can find them. I grow HF Red Eye,, HF Biscuit and HF Pink - and unlike Rhodohypoxis they do have the sexual bits visible in the corolla tube. Dear John, Many thanks for the lead. It helped a lot on doing a web search. Yes I have just found out that hybrids do exist, and that the original hybrid is a natural cross between Rhodohypoxis baurii and Hypoxis parvula. The hybrid is called x Rhodoxis hybrida, and on typing Rhodoxis in Google image search I have found a picture of the same plant on Paul Christian's website. http://rareplants.co.uk/rhodohyp/index.htm Details are right at the foot of this page. Thanks John.
