years ago, in a hyacinth bulb, and have read that they will attack other 
bulbs
if their preferred amaryllidaceae are scarce.

I don't know if the taxonomy of the amaryllidaceae and alliaceae has been 
discussed of late here as I've sadly been ''out of the scene'' a while; but 
I'm hearing that the lilaceae has recently been reclassified and that 
amaryllidaceae have now been placed within alliaceae. Is this the case ?

Does anyone have any details for the re-classification of the lilaceae ?

Best Wishes,
Dave
