I like it. The white edging is unusual on a red flower. I also like that the red is a bright red... quite a punch of color!

I forgot to add this cool observation of the papilio crosses. A select few have bloomed three times! and one has now bloomed a fourth time! they seem to do this about two weeks between blooming.

I just love how this plant is developing. Those blossoms are staying erect even during the hottest times of the day...Love the ruffly skirts and the curled tendrils. I would love to cross this with Angels Exotic because she too has very beautiful ruffles and curls also and she is a double...with Sam as the daddy in my new cross, I think we may see something really pretty from a cross like this...The best thing about this baby is the color...I just love it!!

Hi Nancy, I have a picture of the growing seed pod? Hopefully that is what I have here, in the Gallery. The stems are strong. When It was in bloom the bloosoms were held up not falling over, sort of short bloom stalks (Mighty Mouse)Mighty mouses leaves are very small about two to three inches long. I will also put up pictures of each bloom, Country Girl(Lyons) is a gorgeous growing plant. I want to work on smaller streps. I know this crossing will not possibly bring me small plants, I will have to self cross? I think? Im new to Hybridizing as you can get the drift. I have been growing a long time but just now have more time and space to do this. Thank You for your help. I really excited about this. Nancy from California

Will my watermelon cross polinate w/ my squash?
Q
Comments (2)
Watermelon and squash look similar when they first sprout. I doubt that a zucchini seed "popped up as a watermelon." Does it have a watermelon fruit on it already? It's been a while since I grew watermelon, but if I recall, their stems don't have prickly spines on them, while zucchini do. (Am I right about that?) You may be able to tell the plants apart that way. Anyway, your watermelon will not cross pollinate with a squash. They are two completely different plants. A yellow squash or gourd or pumpkin will/may cross with another squash, because they are all squash. But a watermelon won't.

I love the color and the picotee edge as well.

And it's huge too, look:

Google "hippeastrum russian halo" I think Haxuans is at least as good,if not better.
All of them are outstanding.

They are all very pretty. I think I may have to add Alfresco to my collection next year! -Tina

Del: I checked Russian halo and saw that it indeed looks somewhat like my flower, except the color is a bit darker and without the "stripes" in the center. :)

To all: Thanks for your compliments and interests in my new beauty.
