Thank you everyone. I've been using up fabric as much as I can this year and one of those red squares has 7 pieces to make it the proper size. It's difficult to tell even looking straight at it! But that fabric is gone as is most of the black on white. There's a bit more of the white on black, but not much. I've done pretty well in only buying the basics and using up what's in the stash...... I'm happy about that. Lois, It doesn't take a lot for us to be content and we live a very simple lifestyle. If I don't want to cook, I don't and DH doesn't care. Things get done when they get done around here. Gives both of us more time to play and do whatever we want. :-) edited to add: Plus, I broke my Kindle which gives me more time at the sewing machine. It's a lose/win thing. :-)

evergreen x papilio cross possible?
Q

Hello and welcome. Yes, many others and I have successfully crossed ‘Evergreen’ x H. papilio. With regard to their ploidy, ‘Evergreen’ (a hybrid of H. cybister) and H. papilio (a Hippeastrum species) are both diploid. No photos to post yet. Nurturing these beauties until their maiden flowering requires time and patience (especially without the provision of supplemental artificial light during the winter months). I believe that ‘Tres Chic’ is a tetraploid hybrid. Seeds of ‘Exotica’ x ‘Tres Chic’ have been offered on eBay, but I can't vouch for the accuracy of the listing. Although ‘Tres Chic’ flowers regularly and prolifically for me, it has not produced viable seed as either the pollen or seed parent. Perhaps others have had different outcomes.

What a great cross! It reminds me of Ruby Star, which is one of my all-time favorites.

Papilio is one of the parents. The other possibly 'Amigo'. That's all I know. 4 flowers/scape. 10-16" scape. The individual flowers do not extend above horizontal @ 6"-7" dia.
