Hi All, the Hippeastrum seeds are ripening from my online bulb binge last October...including seeds from my latest Amaryllidaceae experiment; Hippeastralia. I froze the pollen anthers from one of my November Spreklia formosissima blooms...and did an intergeneric cross with a couple of the Hipps I bought. The objective being to try to produce a Hippeastralia that *isn't* red. I'm going to plant the first batch of seeds from those crosses this weekend to see if they're viable...crossing my fingers. So I'm curious if anyone has done any fussing in this regard? If I could knock off a few years from this experiment by using someone else's F2 or F3 generation of seeds that would be great. I'm hoping to have some sort of resolution to this experiment before I'm eligible for Social Security. So any info would be appreciated. -david
