Is this Sampa?

14 years ago

I've been blogging about my "pink/white" amaryllis for years. My mother purchased it and had it for a long time until I sort of took it for myself at some point when I was really interested in cross-pollinating.

Took this picture in Spring of 2011.

(A photo I took of it in 2007 as well which better demonstrates the pinkness)

I've always referred to it as "pink/white" but now I'm being asked to look up the name for it. Does anyone recognize it?

Ever since I started pollinating my amaryllis in 2007, I have had no luck in pollinating this plant except once. The pink/white pollen works on my reds with mixed results. When I use the red pollen on the pink/white, they never take. I even tried self-pollinating it (when the bulb grew several more bulbs, I tried passing pollen between them too.) and no luck there. In 2009 or 2010, one pod on the pink/white miraculously took and I have the seedlings growing in a flower box. I have no idea who the father is on that one though.
