So exciting Hans - you sure know how to convey your happiness through the "ether" i can feel it all the way here in Boston lol.

Waiting for the link to your pics!

The thing is, both "Striped Panther" and "Reggae" are Liliputs in comparison to a giant (as regards bulbs and foliage) like "PapMinPic". And the seedlings of "Striped Panther" x "Reggae" are Liliputs in comparison to "Striped Panther x "PapMinPic" - I was already happy when I noticed ONE scape in the Liliput box showing up, and the last 3 of a total of seven in the Liliput box - I detected only today. This might explain why I am in joy!

Eagerly waiting for that link! I can feel the joy here too :-)))

Waiting for the link to your pics...

Such exciting times when your seedlings are in bud. It's almost like waiting for your child or grandchildren to be born. LOL Pics..link please Hans!

Here we go: page 116

Very, very nice.

That's only the beginning. Regrettably I am yet to obtain progeny which is fragrant like "Striped Panther"

Very lovely, I hope they please you too!!

Below, 2) & 3) two shots of Haweha's 'Striped Panther' x 'Reggae'; and finally, 4) 'Striped Panther' (DIP) x 'PapMinPic1' (German Amaryllis Forum)

Thank you Monarda!

The first picture shows one "Chico" x H.papilio, the appearance of which is mediocre, BUT it has a special value to me, since it was my very first own Cybister hybrid in bloom, in 2006 I think, and I baptized it "Ballerina"

I really like the last one - beautiful :o) Dan

Wow they are all so beautiful - I can’t tell which one you think is mediocre! :-)

Amazing blooms, as yours always are! I have never seen a solid purple Hippeastrum like your ‘Striped Panther’ x ‘Reggae’. Perhaps you have discovered something new!

Hello Dan, the 4 flowers are very slightly drooping, but this is my favorized color pattern, a "fork" of broad venation in ruby red on a pure white background. The outside of the flowers is nicely spotted, and I will test the specimen for self fertility. More Pictures of it are to come once all 4 florets will be open.

Hello Joy, I must admit that I aim at extracting the best from each Bloom, in that I take multiple pictures and select the best one, and I try to have them shine a bit more attractively than they already are.

Hello Everado, there is actually some Cybisters of this Color, "Shacoba", and "Rosario" and I think "Quito". Unfortunately there is quite a lot of new hybrids since 2000 which are/WERE like straw fires - they disappeared/will disappear after a short time. "Striped Panther" itself seems to be discontinued too, which is a pity since it produces the strongest fragrance of them all. Fortunately I still have it, 4 bulbs of bloomable size and 4 small bulbs. Oh, and I still possess "Reggae" too.

They are all beautiful, Haweha, thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing the other siblings bloom because I always love to see the variabilty in one cross!

I should try to find a Striped Panther since I love fragrant Hippis... Did you ever try to cross it with some other fragrant varieties like Estella, Santiago or Rebecca?

Wow! What colors and patterning! I can't decide which I am more drawn to! They are stunning!

Hello Catsandhippies, "Striped Panther" is yet to EVEN rebloom...

I do not know why that is, since 4 bulbs are of bloomable size.

As regards "Estella" - this hybrid seems to be totally sterile.

Other than that, everybody might go to my old thread,

[PapMinPic[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/papminpic-dsvw-vd~1744098)

then push [Ctrl][F] and include the text " outstand " into the search-field which will conduct you directly to the maiden bloom of 3 siblings of "Striped Panther" x "PapMinPic1" of the last Season, before I will include the recent progress into the German Forum and provide you with a new link to it.

HAPPY WINDOWSILL "GARDEN"ING!

I saw those pics hans - they were amazing!

Oh, this is sad, Haweha! Do you give them a cool rest during the winter? I cross my fingers that they will all bloom this spring :-)

I couldn't get seeds from Estella neither but I didn't try very hard. Rebecca, which is supposed to be a sibling of Estella and has the sweetest scent of all Hippeastrum I know is able to produce seeds...

Looking forward to seeing the new pics!

Anja

Oo Hans! I congratulate you on such successful crosses! I almost missed such beautiful seedlings! They are amazingly good!

Elena.

Outstanding!!! You are a h. Guru

Here we go again -

ENJOY ❤

Hello Anja, my "Striped Panther" were treated in the same way as the progeny thereof, which is now in Bloom. I do not have an Explanation.

Thank you, Hans! I confess, I'm fascinated!

Elena.

Very lovely, I am particularly drawn to #'s 2, 3. and 4, but all are very beautiful!! You must be so proud!!! The proud Papa!!

Awhh thank you so much!

The last Picture shows an extraordinary scape. It is of Flamenco Queen, its net length 88 cm without the pedicels which add further 15 cm.

Yes!! It looks like you may have to raise the ceiling soon!! ;-))

Well, as long as I will not create an OCT-oploid hybrid, it is fair to say that I am on the safe side :) or do you think that there is some "Miracle Gro' " fertilizer which will do the trick?

I cannot decide which I like most. Maybe #4. Congratulations, you must be very very proud!

Since you have four bulbs of Striped Panther you could maybe treat one of them different to see if that helps? Fingers crossed that they will bloom soon!

Here we go again...

#1 and #4 respectively (as listed by Donna)

These "Striped Panther" (DIP) x "PapMinPic1" (effectively TET) are all supposed to be TRI(ploid). They are infertile with pollen from DIPs. But, a seed pod is growing after pollination from a(n effective) TET, namely "PapDon1"

Absolutely beautiful, congratulations :-))))) Good luck on the seeds and keep us informed.
