I also found Strumaria discifera in bud in a storage box. Time to pull out the stored bulbs in boxes, and plant the amaryllid seeds sleeping in the refrigerator since spring. I was waiting until after our current heat wave is over (106 F / 41C as I write) but the bulbs jumped the gun. At least nights are beginning to cool. Leo Martin Phoenix Arizona USA
