One additional footage of our Gold Piece and ☼ Shine LIZA

Hans-Werner,

Your flowers are truly lovely, the colors and throats are amazing and Liza looks as snug as a bug in a rug!!

Hopefully the one on the left with the 2 flowers will produce 4 next time but if not it is still a gorgeous sight to behold, the shape, the color and those throats!!!

Very, very pretty Hans. Interesting how variable the shape can be and how red dominates. So how do you pick which beauty to keep :)

Liza seems to be appropriately spoiled and is enjoying every moment. - J

It is fair to say, that quite a lot of visitors will be unfamiliar with the history of the very Knight Star lilies as shown above, and I also have kept in my mind, that a certain Image Hoster, the Name of which I will conceal here, did take all Images hostage by asking for dear Money, then. In other words they destroyed all part of my documentation based on linking hosted image files - so I will recapitulize a bit in this thread.

The mother of the 3 siblings is, as indicated by the left side of the formula above, a certain, ominous "PapDonAmb2", the last pics of which are

This last pic is of 2012 or so.
The "crispy" pic above it shows the maiden Bloom of the seedling bulb.

Hello Hans,

Absolutely beautiful hippies and one more beautiful than the other :-))) You seem to have have been blessed by mother nature and I absolutely love your 'Crispy" blooms.

Please give that little angel Liza a great big hug and kiss from her adoring fan across the ocean :-))))

Warm Hugs,

Fred

Hans I have to read through your posts several times to understand all the information you give - thank you for that for newbies like me! I love reading your posts - the crosses are beautiful and your doggie is very cute! My kids want a dog this year - I am holding off as long as I can .....

All THEM, currently 3 dogs of my spouse are rescued dogs. You might consider doing the same... become a rescuer from misery. It will make the crucial difference... for the life of that one dog.

Congratulations Hans for your "new" hippies

Your crosses are beautiful

I found earlier Pictures of the 3 siblings, which were effectively deleted by the Image Hosting agency. Here they are!

The appearance is conspicuously different (forced indoors) as compared to this year's Performance (forced on my balcony)

The following pictures show the "father" the pollen donor that means, "PapDon1" which means/is

H.papilio x "Donau"

#3 Forced on your balcony is exquisite! They are all beautiful and impressive!

Dear Hans-Werner,

It's so kind of you to update the group. Following your crosses is one of the highlights of this group. I love all of your blooms, even the ones that don't quite thrill you. Each is a beauty.

Liza was lucky to land (softly) in your home.

Holiday greetings!

Kristi

Hello Hans! Your creations are beautiful, especially I like # 3 with a green throat ..... it's something !!!

Congratulations!

Congratulations on Christmas.

Hans, your seedlings are gorgeous!

Especially considering the amount of knowledge, skill, patience and work they have been spent on.

Congratulations!

Thank you all for commenting. As regards the bundle of competences mentioned by you Oleg - the most crucial in this respect is steadiness. The daily husbandry. To never neglect them. To never have them disappear in the Corner, once the Bloom is spent. To put the little but appropriate volume of water into the saucer every day. Right now they are at my hottest place on the windowill in the living room. These three are NOT suitable for a cold reposal during winter. Their leaves are diffferent, the proportions are Clivia-like rather than the usual straps. The funniest part of this latter Observation is - I do not even know, what original parent ("Ambiance, "Donau", and H.papilio) is responsible for this property, and the same applies for the very attractive "uprightness" of the flower as is very conspicuous in "PapDonAmb2" and still visible in the offspring #2

I agree . Thank you.

Perhaps a sign of leaves from papillio , but rather it is a combination of the properties of parents. The shape of the flower and its patterns from papillio and from the garden cultivars, as shown by signs of cleavage. About "uprightness" while for me this is a mystery.
