Scadoxus puniceus x S. multiflorus ssp katherinae

This is my first flowering of Scadoxus puniceus crossed with Scadoxus multiflorus ssp katherinae. Leaf growth is identical to S. puniceus whereas the peduncle measured 83 cm.

A few differences I have observed with My Hybrid. The flower head resembles S. puniceus...except the florets are definitely S. katherinae. The leaf stem is identical to S. puniceus...except all of my puniceus have lost their leaves for Winter whereas the hybrid leaf stem is laying on the ground still as green as grass as are my S. katherinae. The flowering time matches with my S. katherinae whereas the peduncle has the height of S. katherinae and the thickness of S. puniceus!
