I think this is the tri-generic Dave Lehmiller hybrid that Cynthia Mueller
mentioned.

I saw it blooming at PDN last year. It was very brightly colored and
extremely cute.

Dennis, I think today I'll put pink Rhodophiala pollen on an out-of-season
Hippeastrelia flower in my garden (and vice versa). You never know...but
the interesting cross that Dave Lehmiller made was between Sprekelia,
Hippeastrelia and Zephyranthes traubii, I think. The Z. Traubii went a long
way evidently in creating a small plant like a rain lily.

Dave Lehmiller produced all kinds of intergeneric crosses between
Habranthus, Zephyranthes, Sprekelia, Hippeastrum, and Rhodophiala,
including several very striking tri-generic crosses. He has retired from
growing Crinum and these other species and sold or turned over almost
all
of his stock to people like Herb Kelly. I saw some of this stock sold at
very high prices (in the hundreds of dollars per bulb) right before the
IBS
went out of business.
