Not a cross, but here is a flower from a seed of self-pollinated plant. Took about 5 years before I got them to flower (I really did not give them the best care), but they finally have started to.

The only real differences from the mother plant are that they have a slightly more orange color and that the flower petals tend to have more notches cut out of them.

I had a cross bloom last month for some reason. It's not exciting at all. I was hoping there'd be something new to it but people did warn me that red was incredibly dominant.

I have {{gwi:421707}} that dislikes its own pollen and pollen of others. No matter how many time I pollinate the flowers, they don't seem to detect the pollen. Usually a flower shrivels right up once it has been pollinated. These flowers will stay open for days and then naturally die out with no pod. (That changed this spring! I had three pods that took! All selfed!) In 2010, One pod finally took and I was excited.

I had no idea who the father was. It was either selfed or it was crossed with the red amaryllis.

Then I finally got my answer when a maiden bloom popped up this summer, for some bizarre reason.

It's pretty sad looking but I know people say to never judge by the maiden bloom. I guess I was sort of disappointed because it's just pretty much 'another red' to me, even though it's different genetics. I selfed the flowers because there weren't any other amaryllis around. All the flowers didn't take. It probably inherited its mother's dislike for pollen. I probably won't know 'til next spring if it sends up another bloom for me to try again.

Sorry. Didn't mean to ramble. It was my first batch of amaryllis that I ever crossed.

One of the reasons you don't see more photos on here is this sites statements you had to agree to, to join.Most of us have our photos on file server sites.Another of this sites problems is that they don't allow links to be posted.So,unless someone finds a slick way around it, or you search hippeastrum names you won't see many of the photos.

@ dragonstone: the flower looks a bit like a cross with a red sprekelia, and i like it because of the narrow petals/sepals.
