OMG Sh*t THAT's a good one. Congratulations! One of the Parents must have been a Papilio hybrid.

Best,

I was trying to write exquisite! in Mandarin Chinese, but the characters appear to have been garbled by the notorious Garden Gnomes.

Equisite is the right word for this jem.

Dear all,
Thank you for your interest in SG108 :)
I noticed that it's the same cross with the photo SG103

Hereby is SG120, I love this color with dark red pearl velvet.

an unexpected surprise

{{gwi:390051}}

Thanks for sharing - very fun to see the results of your crosses!

WOW!! You sure are sucessful in getting some over-the-top seedlings..Another winner!! You've got the touch!

Donna

I forgot to ask, what is the cross and how large is the flower..larger than Evergreen?

Thank you pupu very much for sharing with us all the beautiful pix of your plants.
I enjoy them very much.
marie

I really like that last green scape! That is amazing!

Thank you all.
Donna, SG131 is Green Dragon x Lima
This cross, they are almost green / yellow with a mild brown color, but few are pretty green on the inner side of petals. The diameter is a little bit larger than EG.
I remember I still made a another cross : GD x Chico, but I did not find it yet.

Puyuma

Pupu,
I am absolutely in awe at your sucess! All of them are beautiful, some of them are just exquisite!! I hope you will have many more to show us in the future..such great work!!

Donna

LOVELY,
PUPU, what is your normal time from sowing to bloom?
Arif

Donna, I am so happy you love them.

Arif, In my poor opinion.
Usually, it might be about 2-3 years but 16-18 months for the shortest possible time.

Big One (Orange/White)
{{gwi:390054}}

Your creations rival anything that is out there in the market place..love the last two too!!Thank you for sharing them...

Donna

Outstanding results, simply stunning, congratulations!!

Wow - this is an incredible collection of hybrids - congratulations on your careful work and patience. I hope you will continue to let us share the varieties that emerge in the future

Geoff

Thank you guys:)
Sometimes I can get a unexpected but good results.

Lima x Double Record
{{gwi:390055}}

{{gwi:390056}}

WOWOWOW

All of them are GORGEOUS!!!

I see you have them all in the ground?

Do you think that is better than making them pot bound, speaking in terms of scape emergence?

KB2

Hi, KB2
Thank you for your compliments. I used to sow the seeds to young plants in a pot. When they are big enough I'll separated them in the ground happy themselves to blossom.
I don't have to worry the chilling injury in winter and most Hippeastrum can easy to grow without too much care,
but I'll choose H. papilio, Chico, Rosario etc. to plant in a pot to pass the hot, wet and humid season.

someone with blossfeldiae

{{gwi:390057}}

Beautiful blossfeldiae hybrid, I definitely see it in the parentage!

Thanks, Josh
These two are Lima(seed parents), also obviously.

Double~
{{gwi:390060}}

the last double is amasing i want one lol happy growing danny

Thanks, Danny

{{gwi:390061}}

amazing crossings You did! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for showing your Creations! I still wonder, what you crossbred in order to achieve SG108. Do you have any siblings of this specimen, which are yet to bloom??

Dear haweha,
There is one sibling SG102. You can compare it with SG108.
The seed parent is Green Dragon, not H.papilio:)

Dear Puyuma

Who is the pollen parent of SG133 ? This hybrid is absolutely a beauty!

Henry

Henry,
It's White Peacock.

And another hybrid from la paz x picotee
{{gwi:390063}}

{{gwi:390064}}

clear color

Love, Love, Love!! 195!!!

i look at these and see time and energy, and all i can say is WOW they all look so amazing.

Dear Donna, la paz is better than lima, maybe you can try to make the same cross like that.

Devonfawn, thank you~
Although my friend look me as a underdog, I am firmly under the belief that As you sow, so shall you reap.
It takes time to wait:)

#Emerald Star x self
{{gwi:390065}}

Thank you for sharing your beautiful crosses. Your work and patience are appreciated.

Hi, mnwsgal
Everyone can make it, just take time:)
{{gwi:390067}}

SG147 looks great but is that the handy work of a grasshopper or a catipillar i see on the flower petals. my little buggers have only touched the leaves, i wish i could find some praying mantises to help out.

Dear PuPu,

Every time I see a new message on this thread and I scroll down to the bottom I am always in awe (again and again) of all the gorgeous hybrids you have created..Bravo to you!! Many of them are better than most that is out there commercially..

I wish that I had a La Paz as I haven't had much luck at all using Lima (which I do love) but, I did get a few seeds here and there, but without any papilio pollen this season to work with, most of my crosses have had to be with the big Dutch hybrids. But, I do have at least 3 crosses using papilio from the past two years..and, some of them are getting big enough to bloom..one can only hope :-)

Donna

Why do I view your creations repeatedly? It is a pleasure to see them again and again. SG108 is one of its kind.Congratulations, Arif.

Hi Devonfawn,
Recently, I got into a big trouble with "cotton worms". They can eat everything:(

Hi Donna, Thank you for your praise again. I still have some new young plants this year, let's make effort together!

Hi brigarif, Haha thank you so much in love with SG108.

Dear Puyuma~

Dear Puyuma

Who is the pollen parent of SG108��SG147&SG157 ? These hybrids crosses are absolutely gorgeous!

Best regards for you,
Tiger Liu from China

Enjoyed scrolling again through your photos of the beautiful hybrids you have created. I agree with Donna that they are lovelier than many of those that are available commercially.

Ya know my birthday is coming up in October I would just like to through it out there that I would like
1-SG108
1-SG129
1-SG158
(Note: you don't have to send the actual bulbs as off shoots will suffice) :)
I would also accept any others that you could send me.
Admiring your pictures once again with envy and yours truly,
Devon

Thanks again for showing what we can achieve with a little time and patience.

Dear Puyuma
