Exotica x h. papilio sprouting seeds
Comments (13)Hi Anja, Yes!! I have 2 or 3 decent sized seedlings growing from this cross!! They aren't about to bloom any time soon but they are growing well so maybe in a year or so? As for my Ferrari x papilio, the first flower has totally wilted so I was so encouraged that I did another and I also did a Jungle Star. This Ferrari that snuck in through the back door so to speak, is totally well rooted and has 6 strong leaves so as she was uninvited, she couldn't be more well behaved!!! I dare not get too excited about possible seeds as I know the tricks that these bulbs can play on us!! I have yet another scape just up about an inch that will come later. Three scapes, the first two with 4 flowers each and I can't even take a decent picture!!! Oh well, now I know and will always have a Ferrari in my collection!! The funny thing is that about 6 or 7 years ago I bought a Ferrari to give as a gift to a family member who had the same last name and I remember how gorgeous the flower was but she killed the bulb by cutting off the green leaves!! I asked her why in the world she cut the leaves and I guess I wasn't very nice about it and she was very annoyed so I just forgot about this bulb!! Last year was nearly a total disaster in the seed department but this year appears that it is going to be better. Jungle Star as well as La Paz also Midori no Juni have set several pods as well as a tantalizing tease of Sonatini # 1810 (striped leaves) on Exotic Star of all things that wilted the day after I put on the pollen, dare I hope!?!? I may be looking for some homes if all these pods do well, but of course I remember saying the same thing last year and nothing took but the anticipation is fun during this cold but nice (so far) winter!!

Comments (5)Hi Chara, No, It's not h. papilio, but it's the next best thing..truthfully, I'm not sure which cybister it actually is (the experts will clarify that) but my question is which plant was the seedpod parent..the plant pictured above, and Red Lion and Minerva donated their pollens?? Unfortunately, I don't have any seed at the moment since we're just starting our blooming season up North..but if you have a FEW seeds of the cybister x Red Lion (assuming the seedpod came from the cybister) and you'll take a rain-check I'm interested...In a few months most of us.. myself included.. will be looking for people to take our seeds..Thanks, Donna...See MoreMy X-Mas Papilios, And A Surprise.....
Comments (5)You cant tell to much from my pics.,sorry, except the size of the Papilio flower scape. And that the bulbs are big. I forgot the Lemon Sorbet bulb. I just planted the lemon Sorbet, and the Papilios, the one that has the bulblets and the BIG bulb under the one scale, turns out it has leaves wrapped part way around the bulb. I peeled off the brown paper layer over the big bulblet,and found 2 leaves on the bulb! So it is going to put out a second bulb pretty soon. I planted them only like 10% deep,the rest above the soil. Since it was splitting the scales, I figured I would keep them all planted as shallow as the rest. Where the 'split' shows on the bulb,is where the big bulb is under the scale on the bigger of the 2 Papilios. It is so big, it is splitting the scales. And yet 2 it also has bulblets on the basal root top. THANK YOU DONNA!!! For posting these. I will have pretty red Lions open in a few days. They are nice and red now, just have to get bigger and open. I might actually have amaryllis for Christmas!! Instead of like a month after or before....See Morepuniceum x papilio, Madame Butterfly and Chico
Comments (11)Here is Madame Butterfly with her flowers just freshly open. I assume in a few days she will get a little more curvy, but you really have to see this in person as the camera does not capture the brightness of the color or the thickness of the petals, but you can get the idea. and here she is with her stall mate, puniceum x papilio which so far, is my favorite of the two.!!
