O so lucky, I have been to Rio & Iguassu Falls, I had they overwhelming urge to disappear into the rain forest like an early explorer. I have quite a few hippeastrums just about to enjoy the first flowers, goats ate a few buds off though. They mowed crushed & stomped about $5000 worth of bulbs into the ground actually, If they didn't wiggle their ears & tails so sweetly we might have to discuss their living arrangements. I'll have some princess flowering soon. I grow Worseylas too i love the colour & i'm a sucker for anything endangered in my eyes. I'd love to see them in the wild too I think all my Hippeastrums are hybreds but i have a big interest in endemic natives. I wana come with u to Brazil On Mon, Aug 15, 2011 at 3:52 AM, Shelley GAGE <sgage4@eq.edu.au> wrote: > Dear Steven, > I am interested in many plants but especially love amaryllids.
