seed pod from an unknown yellow flower.
Comments (6)I'm pretty sure that's it,! Oenothera macrocarpa...according to the pic. According to the article Remy linked to, This species is a perennial with a fairly short bloom period. Its flowers may be seen in May and June, with the peak being mid-May in Kansas. Like I said b4...mine blooms off and on all season, and is a real favorite. I am clueless where it even came from. Thank you everyone. You all are the bestest and so knowledgeable. I refer lots of folks over here, telling them someone can most likely help them with an identity, even with just a good description.

Comments (8)Honey Locust is a rather dangerous tree to have around. The common ones grow thorns up to a foot long, which are perhaps the nastiest thorns of any North American tree. I have been told that some of the African Acacias are worse, but don't know that for a fact. Not something I'd care to have on my property. The so-called Moraine locust is a thornless form, so just hope you have that variety. George...See MoreFlowering hippeastrum from seed - please help identify
Comments (13)This was my response before the forums decided to delete it! thanks everyone for the responses, very interesting. I do know that it is possible to get some degree of variation from selfing a hipp but didn't think you can get this wild a variation! so I'm going to correct myself here - the original hipp was not a minerva. Not sure what it was though (and don't have it anymore). Here's a pic of it. Can anyone identify it for me? I guess when you look at the flower below (the product of self pollination of the above hippeastrum) you can see some degree of resemblance. and the one from seed thought to be a self from the above bulb: Cheers, Dan And Jodik's response... It's beautiful, Dan... there's a marked resemblance, even though the red is a bit darker and there are certain differences. When breeding, having an accurate history makes it so much easier when you're trying to isolate or combine certain characteristics... or when you're trying to breed in a certain direction. Without an accurate accounting of the ancestry of our dogs, we wouldn't even consider breeding. We'd have no idea of what poor traits were hiding, and this could be dangerous within the world of canines. We keep extremely detailed records, and we crunch data to get an idea of what a prospective outcome might be for a particular pairing. Technology makes it all easy these days. We use certain tools and certain processes, such as inbreeding or tight line breeding... and culling plays an important role, as well. With flowers, it's a bit different... self pollinations are possible, along with crosses... widening the possibilities. I still have a lot to learn about plant breeding, but I find it just as fascinating. jodik...See More
