Narrative
Hippeastrum x hybridum ‘Clementine’ is a moderately tall 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 35-45 cm tall, 2-3 per bulb, each bearing 4-5 flowers per scape with pedicels 2-4 cm long. The wide-spreading large 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 are undulate along the margins. The outer tepals are 12.5-13 cm long, 8-9 cm wide at their broadest; the inner tepals are 11.5-12 cm long, the inner laterals 7-7.5 cm wide; the ventral inner ca. 5.3 cm wide. The tepals are uniformly striated pinkish-orange, with RHSCC orange-red 33A the closest match. The tepals have a diffuse silvery white keel, which is more pronounced on the outer whorl. All tepals have a white apiculum at their apex, and an inconspicuous dark orange red picotee. There is very little green except a small zone in the throat that is bordered with deep red. A short ring of fimbrae occurs at the throat. Stamens are 11 to 12 cm long, reddish-orange for most of their length, white in the proximal 1.5 cm; pollen is yellow. The style is ca. 13 cm and colored similarly to the staminal filaments, but lighter; the trifid white stigma is ca. 7.5 mm wide. This is a complex, sixth generation hybrid that began with primary crosses of H. ambiguum and H. papilio, and H. papilio x ‘Rilona’ with further introgression of H. brasilianum and the complex varieties ‘Bouquet’, ‘Wonderland’ and ‘Mt. Blanc’.
