Thanks for the info! I had seen pictures online of Bozandycol but didn't
know its parentage.

I just did another search and found a very brief article here:

I agree, it looks a lot like my plant. Mine has fewer flowers, and as I
recall the leaves are semi-upright. But the flower shape and color are very
similar.

Does the fact that it's being vegetatively propagated mean that Bozandycol
is not fertile? That would be a shame.

You're right, Nathan. Thanks for pointing that out. I was really careless in
the way I worded my post.

What I was trying to say was that many of the Nerine hybrids I grow have so
much diamond dust that have a kind of a sheen to them, so the tepals look
like they have a reflective coating painted on. It's like the effect you get
from some satin ribbons, or the road paint that has reflective glass beads
mixed into it. That's the visual effect I'm getting from this flower,
although it's not as pronounced as it is in the Nerines. And good luck
photographing it (I've tried).

Thanks,

Mike
