I think that Deepak can confirm that these both are from an older stock... The flower shape with rather narrow segments and a rather light-and-airy appearance make me stand towards my opinion like umh...ummmmh... like a mighty immemorial German oak tree *ROFL* So... Be confident, Maria! (in great sympathy and with a biiiiiiiig smile). Yes, it is frost-free in West Germany now, and my treasures are being subsequently replanted (as appropriate)and transferred to outdoors... Hans-Werner

@kaboehm: of course, first with seeds of hippeastrum crosses, and when my rhodophiala's will bloom, i'll try to make crosses between hippeastrum and rhodophiala. and i want to add a papilio and some cybisters too. @dondeldux: that time is long gone :)

Hi Josh, Yup..looks just like mine did...I though maybe they'd be a bit different... the same right down to the speckled tongue!! I hope you got a change to at least self it since Rebel sets great seedpods..I have about 15 or so from my selfing that survived and are doing very well. I only had one stalk and only two flowers though..hope you got 4 flowers..Thanks for posting, I was dying to see another one! Donna

They look great! You should be able to enjoy blooms every year. Curious, do you have brown garden snails in Australia? Spent blooms are irresistible to them... Save some pollen!! K
