I purchased these bulbs as seedlings from an IBS Symposium auction at the Huntington Botanical Gardens in 2001. They we're labeled Cyrtanthus elatus Hybrids.
Here they are blooming for the first time in my greenhouse in Massachusetts, in December 2004.
These came with a label that said it is a Cyrtanthus elatus hybrid. Photo taken July 2004 by Lee Poulsen.

Cyrtanthus eucallus hybrids. Photos by Bill Dijk.
Not too sure about its parentage , but this beautiful Cyrtanthus is most likely another Cyrtanthus eucallus cross hybrid, a real cracker. I like this one. Photo by Bill Dijk.

Cyrtanthus sanguineus × Cyrtanthus elatus. Photo by Bill Dijk.
(Cyrtanthus sanguineus × Cyrtanthus loddigesianus) × Cyrtanthus sanguineus. From IBS BX seed from Gerrit Oskam in 2001. These are the first flowers to appear. They're about 2 inches in diameter at the mouth. Photo taken July 2003 by Lee Poulsen.
Although another bulb had a scape of the same cream color above, a third bulb had these salmon colored flowers. Photo taken August 2003 by Lee Poulsen. The second photo shows both colors at the same time. And the third taken September 2003 yet a slightly different color appearing in the same pot of seedlings, this one a more stunning shade of red.
Cyrtanthus 'Summer Party' (C. elatus × C. sanguineus). Photos by Angelo Porcelli.
I made this cross in 2004 and this is the first plant to flower. These have combined well the best features of both parents. The overall look of the plant is a nice robust C.sanguineus with large flowers of a vivid orange.
Cyrtanthus 'White Gem' is a selection created by Harold Koopowitz and the University of California, Irvine. Photo by Bob Rutemoeller.
