Very beautifull Hans! Is 'Tango'  a selection or a hybred?

Is Hippeastrum cybister in cultivation? or are there only hybrids of it?

I have some cybister here too.  It grows very slowly for me and is reluctant to bloom.  My Clivia greenhouse may not be the ideal place to grow it.

What I do have blooming at the moment is this Hippeastrum aulicum var. robustum, which I received a few months ago from a friend in Southern California.

Hans,
'Tango' is lovely.

Here my potful 'Naranja':
-counted ~30 bulbs and daughter bulbs when dormant (M/Dec.).
-in total 15 flower stems this year. :D First flower opened M./Jan.
-up to 110 cm stem height (a little elongated due poor indoor light conditions).
-one female narcissus fly hatched.  >:( This is the second time I found infestation.
Best wishes
Armin

still waiting for Swanlake to start growing ...

I have a good crop of seeds of Hippeastrum harrisonii from my greenhouse. I want to trade for seeds of other unusual species of Hippeastrum. Anyone interested? (Note: I do not sell! The business is closed forever.) No hybrids, please.

Hippeastrum harrisonii grows most of the year in water.  My bulbs are in pots that stand in trays of water most of the time.  This is not your typical semi-desert type of Hippeastrum species.
