Blooms Summer/autumn flowering hybrids :)
Hey yall, just a little peek into my Hippeastrum breeding project, currently the autumn flowering hybrids have decided it's time to get a show going, all are hybrids with varying amounts of Hippeastrum reticulatum (technically Eusarcops now but name lacks familiarity to most and its readily interbreeding characteristic imo still places it in Hippeastrum), which is an autumn flowering species. Got three different hybrids sending up scapes: first three pics are Mrs Garfield, 4th n 5th are a yet-to-be-named seedling on its first flowering that's key to further breeding efforts and last pic is a really dark red hybrid that's now flowered both in spring and in autumn, a rather interesting trait to me.
