Exotic Star (which should have been Papillio) is blooming again and the second round of Chico's blooms are just starting to open. Siren is finished for the moment and has had gorgeous double blooms twice since Christmas. I'll watch Benfica since I don't think it's totally finished opening, it's supposed to have 7" blooms. Those are the four I have. Are they like dips and tets in daylilies with the most successful crosses having the same genes? I don't have enough knowledge to know which Amaryllis these are that would be good candidates to cross & would appreciate anyone's advice.

Here's Exotic Star (again) blooming yesterday. Again the stalk is much taller than the 1st blooms and is at least 2' and has no leaves.
