Cool!  As I'm sure you already know, the consensus among folks who have done
intergenric crosses with Amaryllis is that when the seeds come out an
unusual size or color, it probably means you've got a successful cross.
Bill the Bulb Baron reported this, I've seen it, and Jim Lykos wrote a nice
discussion of it (with pictures) here:

Let us know what the flowers look like (in ten years or so ;-)
