I have the first bloom on a Hippeastrum cross from seeds that someone donated to the BX awhile back. It is H. 'Desert Dawn' x 'Green Goddess' - an unusual cross to say the least. When it is fully open, I will send a photo. It looks like it will be really pretty. Who donated the seeds? It seems that when I grow hipp crosses, the usual bloom resembles either H. puniceum or H. papilio, depending on what is in the genealogy. With clivia, all crosses that I have bloomed, so far, come out looking more or less like the orange C. miniatum. There must be some strong genes in play. Does anyone know what this is about?
