My experience with the species available from the Omphalissa Subgenus, namely H.aulicum, H.cybister and H.papilio is that their flowers produce nectar in abundance. Thus, it does not surprise the slightest, that primary hybrids out of H.cybister and H.papilio, such as Jungle Star and Lima, do the same. Btw - it is a shame that no more fabulous Cybister hybrids of this lineage are being produced and the focus has shifted to pink cybister hybrids instead. Fortunately I have some "Chico" x H.papilio siblings from my own production, that did produce seeds in abundance, upon crosspollination, unlike the beforementioned commercial beauties that refuse to set seed.

Here is one "weeping" specimen, "Chico" x H.papilio
