Ina, I have read it passes some of its virus resistence to its progeny, this of course is just speculation as I don't know. There is an article written in Herbertia called 'Progeny of Hippeastrum papilio' by John Fellers, he suggests that some of the resistence is passed into offspring. This is a quote from his article "Pure *H. papilio* appears relatively resistant to some diseases that plague other Hippeastrum. This trait seems to be passed on to some of the progeny, but it is not universal." Josh On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 4:57 PM, Ina Crossley <klazina1@gmail.com> wrote: > That is interesting.
