I would like some opinions about whether this the plant in these photos could possibly be such a hybrid. Let me tell you the story of this plant to explain why I think it MIGHT possibly be such a hybrid. Several years ago I was performing a lot of crosses of Hippeastrum cultivars. In particular, I successfully crossed two Komoriya hybrids "Piyo Piyo" and "Moonshine", both of which produce four yellow, outward-facing flowers per scape, and both appear to have a lot of H. evansiae in them. I had collected their pollen in eppendorf tubes. Curiously, several of the developing seed capsules behaved in a way that I have never observed before or since. The seeds in these capsules grew much faster than the capsules themselves, so the capsules split open when the seeds were still quite immature. Most of these "fast seeds" failed to germinate because they did not get the chance to fully develop. But I was successful in germininating a few. Based on photos I took at the time, I know that Zephyranthes atamasco was blooming in my yard at the same time. That year I collected pollen from it with plans to attempt crosses with some summer-flowering Zephyranthes. So there would have been a real possibility that I accidentally grabbed the wrong tube of pollen at some time when pollinating some of the flowers. I grew several seedlings of these crosses to maturity, but one is very unusual. The plat produces two upright, radially symmetric flowers per scape. It has bloomed three time so far, and the flowers are always this way. I have attached some photos from 2017 showing the flowers, including side-by-size comparison with A. atamasco.
