I am growing Super E here in the Chicago area. (The label says so--bought it on eBay.) It has come through one winter planted at 20" from the foundation. The other one, planted in the open, and a wetter spot in early spring/winter rotted out. The correction is in response to Jim's (early this year) comment that he doubted that I was growing Hippeastrelia ( H. johnsonii x 'Durgapradhan'). He was right. I was wrong. I am now fairly convinced in my own mind that that was the result of confusion in my head, transferred to a tag which was then lost. B.J. M Zonneveld was also kind enough to do a DNA weight test on some of those seedlings and he pronounced them the result of apomixis, rather than a pollination. I do have some other seedlings from that same attempt at hybridization which show two of them with some of their leaves coiled like a watch spring. They are currently growing under lights and not very large. The leaves are very thin.--about 2-3 mm wide, and about a foot long. ----- Original Message ----- From: <pbs-request@lists.ibiblio.org> To: <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Sent: Monday, July 09, 2007 11:00 AM Subject: pbs Digest, Vol 54, Issue 9
