Has anyone grown cybister from seed?
Comments (4)Attempts to pollinate night star have not had much success. Two scapes produced 8 flowers. The flowers treated with pollen from Jewel, double record, Lima, a dark red hybrid and a Lima x night star hybrid have all shrivelled up. Two remain alive - pollinated by different night star x giraffe individuals, but they donâÂÂt look very vigorous and are threatening to give up the ghost too....See Morenew cybisters
Comments (58)And here is another one that I have saved in my picture files for years now. Also another hybrid from Japan and if I remember right, my Japanese friend told me that this is named as "Dracula". I think it is a Komoriya hybrid and it looks like it has bigger flowers than most cybister hybrids. It's got tall and strong scapes likewise. Love it!!!

Comments (24)Thank you Maria... I think I may carefully re-pot La Paz. It's under-potted, but maybe a bit too much. It's grown since I got it, and it could use a size larger pot and some new medium. Yesterday was monthly "girl's day out" shopping... Psyche and I take off to Champaign after caring for the kennel dogs and horses, and we spend the day shopping for supplies and groceries. We stop at all the stores that have garden departments to check out their sales, and I always look for bulbs and clay pots! Not one store had more than the usual common three Hippi varieties. It was a little disappointing. Walmart did have the types Cindee mentioned, including Flamingo Star... they want $10 each for those, but I was hoping to find cheaper bulbs like last year's $2 bin of Red Lion bulbs. Maybe it's just early... Meijer's didn't have any Amaryllis displayed at all! We did come home with some giant purple Allium bulbs and Fritillaria Crown Imperials in red/orange. We found a 75% off sale at Home Depot... we bought 3 Holly shrubs, a Hydrangea, and a ground cover rose with deep carmine red flowers... very nice! I also grabbed a few more clay pots and saucers... I know I'll need them for Hippis! Psyche mentioned that she had found a website that had Green Goddess, and if I didn't already have that one, she'd order it for me for Christmas! I don't have it yet, so I was thrilled! I've been wanting Green Goddess, but hadn't ordered it yet. I'm excited to add this one to my collection this year! That was my weekend... and now, if the weather holds for a few days, I can get the rest of the spring blooming bulbs planted, plus the new shrubs we bought, and get everything mulched. Then, I can concentrate on getting my indoor jungle in shape for winter!...See MoreMore from Cybister Hill
Comments (10)All of these are night star flowers pollinated with giraffe pollen, but I do also have giraffe pollinated by night star. The latter also produced a similar variety of forms and colours - these pictures are from last year’s flowers. So it seems that this particular cross is productive in both directions...See Morehaweha
