Allesandro:

Since I've flowered neither parent, I'll take your word. Any idea if the
Dutch plant has a cultivar name?

the cross, must be Amaryllis belladonna with Brunsvigia, the inferior petal
centers them turns out longer of the others

Allessandro:

Since I purchased the bulb from Holland as x Brunsdonna, I cannot verify
the
cross. It certainly seems to have Amaryllis belladonna as one parent, but
I'm open to other ideas for the second parent.

From the form of the flower it seems not to be xBrunsdonna, but I can also
mistake, you have produced you this crossing?

PBSers:

We had a nice surprise this week when our first ever xBrunsdonna
flowered.planted in 2005. I know this isn't big news for West Coast
gardeners, but with its winter growing foliage, I didn't expect that it
would ever build up enough energy to flower here, especially after such a
cold winter. I like this kind of surprises.
