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.

VERY Pretty, both of them, especially # 2!!

Thanks y'all The 1st and 4th is Lemon Lime on Pap 2nd and Last are H. johnsonii on Pap 3rd I'm not sure 5th Hans Your quote is correct, but my statement on parentage is not. I must correct the parentage on that cross to H. papilio on H. aulicum. It remains my favorite thus far. Though not especially floriforus I consider the color, markings and presentation special. This winter I will move this plant and offsets into a deep sphagnum basket as both its parents grow well for me epiphytically. And, I tend to kill some with too much water.

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.
