From Joe Shaw (with moral support from Marcelle Sheppard):
1. Hippeastrum seeds--mixed colors "Dutch Hybrids" or "Florists' Amaryllis"
types. All open pollinated and outdoors-grown in zone 9a/b.
Crinum Rose Jumbo seeds X open pollinated. The two mother plants are
essentially identical in flower, but were in 2 different gardens and were
grown from 2 different seeds. Each mother plant is closely related, maybe
they are even siblings from the same Marcelle Sheppard cross. However, they
were open pollinated in different gardens.
2. The "Best Dark Jumbo" was in a garden full of many Jumbos and other C.
bulbispermum hybrids.
3. The "Dark Rose Jumbo" was in a garden with fewer other plants in bloom
at the same time (few whites nearby). .
4. Crinum seeds: Jumbos opening white or very pale-pink and turning darker
on day 2 x open pollinated
4. Crinum seeds: White Prince x open pollinated (White Prince is a very
fine non-Jumbo C. bulbispermum hybrid)
5. Crinum seeds: Totally mixed Jumbos (all colors except dark rose) x open
pollinated
From Richard Wagner:
6. Seed of Babiana rubrocyanea
From Judy Glattstein:
