Hippeastrum


Hippeastrum

Since I have had pretty good luck getting my Hippeastrums to rebloom, I have started adding a few from the local agricultural stores. There are few actual nurseries here, but several stores farmers use. They have a few bulbs every spring, usually Hippies, hybrid Gladiolus, freesias, etc. They are all loose packed, so they get thrown into a plastic bag and the names are lost.

Regardless, it's a lovely one! I like the shading on it.

I have tried pollenating it with H. papilio with pollen that was frozen last month.
