Thanks all for commiserating with me.
Fred I too have a house full of plants(some seedlings) but haven't
experimented with hybridization yet; my wife is already angry so I may have
to wait a bit on that plus I'm still waiting for one of my hippeastrum to
bloom. I'm hoping that will happen in Spring.
Rick I would have to say that the top of my list would be angustifolium,
closely followed by teyucuarense, brasilianum, morelianum, and argentinum
to start. The truth is I am fascinated by many of the rare species in this
genus and the fact that many are practically unheard of in cultivation
sparks my interest even more since I love challenges.
Mike thank you for calling to my attention that I suffer from yet
another condition, Clivia fever. I don't think I have it as badly as you
but I definitely have it. I've been looking for a nice red one for a long
time.
Jim yes I have both hippeastrum and clivia in my greenhouse too, but
was unable to limit myself to just those two and had to go get some
Phadranassa and Brunsvigia and Crinum and.... so unfortunately I'm running
out of space. I think I'm just crazy. A theory confirmed by my wife :-)
