No one else is piping in so I guess I"ll just say that I haven't made any other crosses recently. I had two amaryllis bloom this summer, but not at the same time, they were a week off from each other, so no hybridizing.

I'll try to make some crosses again this holiday season if they have overlapping blooms, again. I did save some pollen from one of the amaryllis for the next time I get a bloom from one of them. I was hoping that my papilio would have successful seed pods last season, but something happened and its seeds sort of wilted away before the seeds fully matured. It might be because it was in a pot that was too small (I know amaryllis like small, but this was REALLY small and I don't think it was far enough in the dirt...not to mention it kept tipping over). I'll be trying again this season.
