I'm quite certain that Scarlet Baby has been available from local garden centers within the last two years. Origin at one of the usual wholesale dealers. So have hope! It's not out of cultivation. In fact, the range of Hippeastrum cultivars we get here is absolutely staggering. One year I counted 30 or 40 distinct ones, not all at any one outlet, and the selection changes quite a lot from year to year. If I had the money and space, I'd have a greenhouse devoted to them with a gardener to look after them, but, alas, no such luck. Canadian Tire is a chain roughly equivalent to Pep Boys, but more oriented toward general household goods. Even they have, some seasons, a good selection of Hippeastrums, sometimes cultivars I've never seen elsewhere. PS: Make that hypothetical greenhouse one with screened vents and doors to keep the narcissus fly at bay. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Maritime Zone 8, a cool Mediterranean climate on beautiful Vancouver Island
