Oh Béatrice, they are so beautiful!!! No 7 has that gorgeous dark green throat very similar to # 3 but not quite as red. Next year #'s 3 and 7 will have 4 flowers for you, I know!!!

Donna

Thank you for your support ! This is a funny cross. Donna you're right, N3 Uhabia is a vibrant red more than N7, I prefer it. I still have some new ones to discover.

I hope to see everyone again because I made a slight mixture of tags by separating the bulbs, they were all in thesame tray...

Fred, it effectively yungacense seems dominant for the coulour , but Lima transmits the general shape of the flower, and also its strength. No name yet!

Hi , here's Number 15 , first bloom and small bulb , so I home more flowers next time :-)

The outline ot the green throat is amazing!

Wow, very beautiful! Is it just the picture or do I see some pink and red together in that flower?

A wild and exotic looking beauty! No.3, No. 4, and No. 15 sing to me.

Hi Béa,

Number 15 is lovely too but it is such a shame that these only have two flowers!!! I know some people won't agree with me but for myself, I partial to your Jungle Lady seedlings which to my eye are more pleasing and just gorgeous and you're getting 4 flowers on most of them!!!

It's a shame that Lima didn't pass on her genes for 4 flowers, but there's always the chance that the next blooming for some of these will produce 4 flowers.

The fact that you got all of these (both crosses) to bloom in nearly rapid succession is truly an amazing feat and you get my vote!! ♥♥

#3 and #15 are my favorites. You might obtain 4 florets per scape from a bigger bulb. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Beatrice,

I love every one of them and I can't wait for the seeds you sent to bloom :-))) Hopefully in a couple of years, I'll be able to post pictures of your beautiful progeny.

Fred

Donna, I can hav hope for N15 , because the bulb is very small , so maybe next year... but I love it a lot , very gracious.

Hans , unfortunatly N3 witch is really beautifull too only gave 2 florets last year , it was the second year it bloomed , 2 scapes with 2 florets , so no much hope for this one.

Yes Fred , we'll have a full album of this family cross when yours bloom too :-)))

Congratulations Beatrice! Beautiful, contrasting seedling! I like the green throat)) I have this weakness))

Elena.

Elena, I'm right there with you :-)))

beautiful! Congratulations on such a successful cross with so many wonderful bulbs!

#15 for me! How big are the flowers? Congratulations on your pretty babies!

Thank you

Hi Anja , it red , dark and more bright red , not pink at all !

Maria , the flowers widely open, they are 17 cm (6.7 inches) wide , it has inherites long stamens and pistils from yungacense.

Hi Beatrice,

Very beautiful and impressive size despite having only two blooms which for me would not be an issue. I especially love the well defined green starburst in her throat :-))))

Fred

I too love the green star and the different reds! Thank you for showing its size, it looked much smaller on the other picture.

Anja

Yes, this # 15 is very lovely and fingers crossed that next time you will get 4 flowers!! If anyone can do it, you can! I am also crazy about these multi-fingered green star throats!!!

Absolutely beautiful outcomes!!!

Gorgeous colors! Red and green and such a nice size! Love it! How interesting that you got so much variations in theses seedlings. It is inspiring

thank you !

more buds are growing , hopefully I have my hippies this winter is so sad , Blanca you make me dream with your california early spring :-)

Those look simply amazing.

Another one ! N14 blooming today , I am happy because last year this one had only 2 flowers/scape , and today it has 2 scapes, 4 flowers on the first one , with a small bulb : 5.5 cm (the color isn't fantastic) ..........so I can hope next year N15 could have 4 flowers !!

last year

today

and for showing them all : N5 , 2 flowers

Beatrice,

They look amazing :-))) Thank you for sharing your beautiful babies :-)))

More amazing flowers from the same cross, I don't know how you do this!! I have a feeling that more of them will produce 4 flowers next year too!! :-))

Beatrice,

I showed your pictures to a co-worker and she was awestruck and commented that she had never seen such a beautiful bloom like your's before. I mentioned that you have an absolute golden touch and live in the beautiful south of France...she let out a warm sigh as though to say I wish I were there :-)))

Béatrice, N14 is extremely beautiful and definitely a keeper with four flowers! And if N5 had four flowers last time it will have four again next time :-) Thank you for sharing your results with us!

Fred, a big thank you, and your friend is adorable!

You know this pollination and this sowing date from when I discovered this forum. I did not know anything about hippeastrums, I had some pots that I took care of a lot! An NBF went by, I came to ask you for help and .... hop .... in three messages I was contaminated by your passion :-)

it's my first result, not really thought about, and sometimes it's often the best is not it?

Thanks Anja and Donna , I can't wait to see what you are going to post too !!! I am very curious !!!

yes I agree! leave room for chance and inspiration too

I like N15 also with green petal stripe.

Here's N 8 , I am dispointed as it produced 2 flowers last year , and 2 again this year....but the bulb is still small (5.5 cm)....so waiting one moe year ? is it worth it to pollinate with chico or not ? as Lima is an hybrid , would I obtain nothing ? really don't know what to do with this one !!

I like number 15 most. It is a perfect combination of the characteristics of both parents and the colors are beautiful.

Nr. 8 has superior shape, I would not consider it disappointing.

I agree with you for the shape Hans , but I am afraid I won't get more than 2 flowers with this one , but I'll keep waiting one more year.

Frank , N15 is my favourite too :-)

I can understand why you like N15 most, Béatrice but N8 is beautiful too! I cross my fingers that it will have four flowers next year!

My current favorite is unquestionably #8 - for its shape.

It is just a question of "likelihood" which effectively transforms into "available number of seedlings" in order to obtain a "4 florets with the shape of #8 and with more Color Saturation." Unfortunately Cybisters mostly transfer "narrow floral Segments" into the progeny, and #8 is already an outstanding result under this consideration.

Hi Beatrice,

I think she is beautiful and if you can imagine a pot full of these with two blooms per scape, that would be even an more beautiful sight. I happen to love it when there are fewer blooms rather than too many blooms that are competing for space. I don't like it when there are too many blooms, the flowers are so distorted you can't appreciate the beauty of the bloom.

thank you Fred , you're right Fred, grace is sometimes inversely proportional to the number of flowers to my taste too.

And thank you too Hans for your help ,it is true that' I don't have many varieties so not many possibilities for pollination , so I might keep it like it is , I love it too.

Another one is coming for soon , a small bulb with 2 flowers of course !

I admire your efforts. :-) Of those you posted, N14 is my favorite. Very unique and attractive look/

Thank you Paul :-)

Beatrice, I love these floweres, they are so elegant!

2 more :

on the left N24 that is bicolor , red and orange , and on the right side N19 strange !

What beauties :-))))))

I love them, especially the bicolored! It is so graet that you could grow all of them and show us the differences! Thank you for sharing your results with us!!!

Thank you ! Almost at the end ! I think I just have one or two blooms for this year, I'm happy to have made the round of this crossing!

I like N24 very much.

Absolutely fantastic series. Congratulations.

# 24 undoubtedly stands out its green throat cut.Greetings!
