Can hippeastrum evansiae produce h.evansiae seed? (Rick Buell )

Diana,if H. anzaldoi and evansiae are crossed would you now consider that still evansiae or a primary hybrid? Mark Zukaitis,You can look into Diana's website telos rare bulbs and see the list available. I think she is sold out on it, but she may respond if she has any..
regards all,Radha.

Diana - if you are in the United States, would you be interested in selling a bulb or offwet of Hippeastrum evansiae? I would very much like to grow it and other Hippeastrum species.
Thanks

I have two clones. One which used to be called H. anzaldoi which comes
from Bolivia, and another (the one usually in circulation) from Brazil.
They look different, the H. anzaldoi having no or very little peach
coloration and smaller flowers that are ruffled along the edges. Some
sources say H. anzaldoi has been sunk in H. evansiae. Anyway, crossing
them produces seed.

I was told recently that h.evansiae can never be started by seed, i.e. the flower of this species won't accept the pollen of another (non-clonal) h.evansiae, therefore if h.evansiae produces a seed pod, it's necessarily a cross. Does anyone know for sure either way?
Thanks,
Rick Buell
