I would agree with Mike ... I usually see some darker or redish leaves amongst my Amaryllis and Brunsvigia seedlings (ex, pic at the link below) but have noticed it usually grows out by the second year, reverting to more typically-colored foliage. However ... good luck ... it would be nice to see some red-foliaged Naked Ladies! http://flickr.com/photos/amarguy/… Ken Blackford San Diego >>I noticed that in my pot of seedlings, all of them have bright grass green leaves, while one of them has very, very dark, almost "black" leaves. Could this be the start of a new variety, or have you guys seen this before? Hard to say at this point. Some of my Amaryllis belladonna hybrids have darker leaves, and some in particular have very dark edges on the leaves as they first sprout. Wait a while and see if they turn green as they grow. If they stay black all season, I think you have something different. Mike San Jose, CA
