Nerine undulata hybrid

David Fenwick

Attached a pic of ''what was'' Nerine undulata.
I've had this plant for years, and it was N. undulata. It was grown for much of its life in a pot, and was planted out last year, and thus I've found undulata to be hardy here.

However, I suspect it might have accidentally crossed with N. bowdenii, and has since produced a rogue bulb quite different to the parent. In my opinion it's nothing to get excited about as it's not as good as the species, however, the colour is slightly unusual, as is the shape of the pollen sacs.

Does anyone know of a similar cross with N. undulata parentage ?
