Bonne Journee,Mark Je reviendrai a Quebec au bout de Mai

Oh my goodness Laurier, a double Black Pearl!!! That Black Pearl sure is VERY generous. I could only imagine how you felt when this flower opened...lol! You won't run out of Black Pearl pollens for sure. I think it's a beautiful thing that is so eager to share. Generous is beautiful.

Mark: when you come to Québec City, send me an email before, may be we could have lunch together.

Maria: when I first saw it, I thought I had a problem with my glasses, but no, that was it, Do you want some pollen? I'll have a lot as you say so I can share some.

Laurier

Highly unusual, but very beautiful! I do like it! A mutation, perhaps... and a lovely one! I wonder if that pollen would produce more doubles... personally, I'd self that flower to see if it created seeds that grew doubles!

Thanks for sharing! Very unique!

Hi Laurier! Ohhhhh,,,thank you so much for offering your pollens but I am right now really really limiting my pollinations. I have been trying very hard here to do better crosses than the ones I did last season. It does get harder as you become more picky or should I say as your Hippies become more picky.

Have you pollinated that flower yet? It would definitely be a very interesting one if ever.

Laurier- What a nice bloom there! It looks very similar to one of my very first Amaryllis that I purchased as Minerva. It wasn't Minerva, but some Red, Pink and White combination. It only had one bloom to perform from what appears to be like yours. It had 10 pollens and the 2 Stigmas grown together. It seems the extra petals are in the same place as yours.

It was described as a "fused" bloom. I will attach the link to my previous post so you see the photo and info from the members here. I had to update the photo since the post was so old.

Enjoy your beautiful 'freak' of nature!

Indeed Frank, it does look very similar, and the petals' location look very similar too. Personnaly, I don't like my bloom, may be it is because I don't really care for the doubles in the first place.

Usually, this is considered an accident caused by Mother Nature and it can't be transmitted to its progeny. Out of the 4 blooms on this scape, this is the only one that has this peculiar look. Unfortunately, I wont see the blooms from the second scape that is about to open since I'm leaving for vacations this Thursday. I'll save and use the pollen, but it should behave like a single flower's pollen according to what I know about these "accidents".

Laurier

Not a double. Two flowers fused together. A freek.
