By the way, now that I'm getting more into amaryllis and hybridizing, in general, I'm curious to know what varieties I have. I much prefer the idea of hybridizing with known CVs rather than NOIDs. It would seem that one of my varieties (which bloomed this summer) is Hippeastrum striatum. Considering how common the Red Lion variety is, my single red is probably that one. I also have another one whose exact color I forget--maybe more of a pink or fuschia?--that I would love to try and ID so that I feel better about crossing it with one of these patterned daylilies. :)
I'm curious how many patterned-amaryllis hybridizers there are here on ATP. That might be a question/discussion for a different thread, though.
