Dear All,

There are two flowers open for the first time on my plant of Hippeastrum
calyptratum. The flowers are totally green without any red or other colour

emit a very strong strange not to say offensive smell. I wonder how they

pollinated being so green and growing epiphytically amongst a lot of

Must be the smell that attracts the pollinator, perhaps bats? Does anybody
know?
I suspect that my plant will be self sterile. will it make sense to send

to the BX? How should I sent it? perhaps on cotton swabs? How else? Is

anybody interested in pollen at all before I go into the trouble of

sending it?

greetings, Uli
