Steve: Do you grow the clone of Hippeastrum evansii that was distributed by the Louisiana Society for Hort Research? I saw this when I was there several years ago and they shared a bulb. After only 1 year in the ground, it has spread over 1' away from the original bulb via offsets. It survived 17F in the ground (very mild for us) this winter with no problem. The soft yellow flowers are absolutely stunning. I think this will be a wonderful landscape bulb in areas where it is winter hardy.
