Hi all, Is Hippeastrum x-johnsonii a triploid? Is it ever fertile? We used its pollen a year ago and set pods on a couple of plants, including H. evansiae and a big commercial hybrid. Putting pollen on johnsonii itself gave us no seeds. I'm just wondering what those seeds might have for parents. Any thoughts on that? We got a good yield of seeds in the pods that formed, and we are growing some of the seedlings now.
