Tocantinia

I got the same seeds as Lee, and Alan Meerow confirmed they are hybrids
with Hippeastrum. No, Lee, mine have never bloomed either! A few bulbs
may still be alive in some of the pots....

By chance did anyone else get some of these seeds and get them to grow
properly, or even thrive?
I had a look if there had been any previous postings to the PBS list about
this genus [1]. Seeing that there were for T. mira (people growing it from
seed), I thought about what I'd just seen on the wiki "is known only by the
type collection" i.e. it is lost.
Asking the experts about the seeds being grown, got the response "This is
a myth, we already discovered it is not true and it was a Hybrid of
Hippeastrum "
Seemingly Tocantinia is difficult to grow, if anyone has had success with
any species it would be of interest.
