>>>>>>Are one or more of the 'Hebron Farm' hybrids not Rhodohypoxis x
Hypoxis ? I'll dig out my old notes if I can find them.  I grow HF Red Eye,,
HF Biscuit and HF Pink - and unlike Rhodohypoxis they do have the sexual
bits  visible in the corolla tube.

Dear John,
Many thanks for the lead. It helped a lot on doing a web search.

Yes I have just found out that hybrids do exist, and that the original
hybrid is a natural cross between Rhodohypoxis baurii and Hypoxis parvula.

The hybrid is called x Rhodoxis hybrida, and on typing Rhodoxis in Google
image search I have found a picture of the same plant on Paul Christian's
website.

Details are right at the foot of this page.

Thanks John.

Best Wishes,
Dave
