Narrative
Hippeastrum x hybridum ‘Erica Lynn’ is a moderately compact bulbous herbaceous perennial. Bulbs are 5.0-6.0 cm diam at first flowering, maturing to 13.0 cm, producing 1-2 offset bulbs annually. Leaves are strap-shaped, green, two to four per bulb, 55-65 cm long, 4.8-5.5 cm wide. Scapes are 35-50 cm tall, 2-3 per bulb, each bearing 3-4 slightly fragrant flowers per scape with pedicels 2-3 cm long. The spreading funnel-shaped perianth is 14.5-16 cm long, laterally 15 cm and dorsoventrally 14 cm wide. The six tepals are of medium texture, and slightly ruffled along the margin, especially in the distal half. The outer tepals are 12.5-13 cm long, and 7-7.5 cm wide at their broadest; the inner tepals are 11.5-12 cm long, the inner laterals 6-6.5 cm wide; the ventral inner ca. 5.3 cm wide. The tepals are uniformly colored a highly reflective, red, with RHSCC red 40C the closest match. The tepals have a bright white keel. The relas are “feathered” at their base with white striations extending into the red portions. The throat is green at the base of the tepals. A short ring of fimbrae is at the throat. Stamens are 11 to 12 cm long, white for most of their length, green in the proximal 1 cm; pollen is pale yellow. The style is ca. 13 cm and colored similarly to the staminal filaments; the trifid stigma is ca. 6.5 mm wide. This a complex, fifth generation hybrid that began with a primary hybrid of H. ambiguum x H. papilio, with successive crosses with H. brasilianum and the cultivars ‘Bouquet’,‘Mt. Blanc’ and ‘Wonderland’.
