Hi folks:

In reading through some old Plant Life journals that a friend shared, I was fascinated by the mention in 1978 of a cross of Hippeastrum yellow hybrid from Len Doran with Amaryllis belladonna. The cross was made by Richard Tisch of California, and photos are included. I don't remember ever hearing of a Hippeastrum x Amaryllis cross before. Are there more? Anyone know this plant? Thanks.
