Even with embryo rescue I didn't think Hippeastrum x true Amaryllis would be possible. I'm certainly no geneticist but I would think the chromosome incompatibility wouldn't allow for a viable offspring.

That article might be a bit misleading. That red flower in the photo is a Hippeastrum, whereas xAmarine hybrids involve Amaryllis. I would think a garden writer would know the difference, but maybe we can blame the photo editor.

I apologize for spamming the list but I learned something new from this request. Amazing hybrids and really quite beautiful!
