Tom, I have Gossypium hirsutum Arkansas Green Lint and Gossypium barbadense Sea Island Brown if either is of interest to you. Alana

I can send you alot of them!!! Our neighbor grew cotton for the first time. After they harvested alot was left behind. We just saw a bird fly away with a cotton ball! What a sight to see. How many do you want the road banks are littered with them.

Hi I keep getting conflicting information and can't seem to get to the bottom of it. Posted below a snipped segment from http://www.bulbsociety.org/ABOUT_IBS/Publications/HERBERTIA/vol52/HybridizingHippeastrums.html all I want is some seeds that will throw up a few white doubles is that so hard? Yes I've looked at Mcguires and they don't have a pure white double that I can see. And certainly not for sale at the moment, but thanks for the suggestion Donna it was a good one. snipped... I'm one person who likes double hippeastrums. A lot. So was the late Ivan Kenney. Ivan hybridized for doubles and produced some beauties, none of which, to my knowledge, he introduced. For many years we were privileged to see some of Ivan's creations at our annual amaryllis shows sponsored by the Southern California Hemerocallis and Amaryllis Society. He often took blue ribbons and even higher prizes for his double hybrids. Ivan told me that there are some tricks to producing double hippeastrums. He said that, as a rule of thumb, if you cross two doubles, you might get up to 50% of the resultant seedlings producing some doubling in the progeny's flowers. Even so, very double flowers are not all that common among the seedlings. On the other hand, if you cross a double with a single the doubling falls off sharply and you would be lucky to get up to 25% of the progeny's flowers showing some doubling. Very double flowers are even less common among the seedlings of these crosses than when two doubles are crossed. If you are interested in hybridizing for double hippeastrums you might bear these figures in mind.
