From Dell Sherk:
1. Hippeastrum seed. Seed comes from a cross made by Marvin Ellenbecker with
plants originating in the collections of Len Doran and Nolan Sahuc. Two
seedlings from that cross bloomed this year, so I crossed them in both
directions. Marvin's original description was: " [Hippeastrum pardinum x (H.
puniceum x H. evansiae)] x H. papilio - selfed. Parent is vigorous - strong
bright red with white throat but look at all the possibilities with that
background" My blooms were almost orange with a cream colored star in the
throat - resembling H. puniceum.
From Lynn Makela:
2. Rhizomes of Gloxinia sylvatica.
3. Tubers of Sinningia tubiflora.
From Mary Sue Ittner:
