Dear Hans-Werner,
Do you have a photo of Flamingo you could post?
Kristi

Hello Kristi,

it is in the link below.

Here is a link that might be useful: Flamingo Hippeastrum

Very beautiful....and you don't have any left of the originals? That's so sad when that happens!

Nothing! I had even raised some seedlings from self pollination. 2 of them bloomed, but they were inferior. My English was inferior too, then; Heaven forbid, I am staggering between giggling and blushing, now .

LOL!

Dear Hans-Werner,

My tale of H. Gordie is similar. I still have several bulbs, but they are far from thriving. I still hope some day to have them propagated by tissue culture. Some day!

Life happens!

I suggest that you consider "Mega Star" for a, imho, dignified Substitute.

Unfortunately Photobucket has struck, and the head posting of this discussion is an example for what they did. Without explicit warning they disabled the embedding of Pictures from my album on their page. Which embedding ("hotlinking") will only be re-enabled if I agree to pay 399 US $ for an upgrade, for one year, which, you might already guess IS NOT GONNA HAPPEN. We can be very grateful that we can upload our Pictures directly to the server which hosts HOUZZ and GardenWeb respectively. Kindest regards from GERMANY.

So sorry Hans Werner!
