Kathleen, Many of the unusually-colored varieties of A. belladonna are actually the result of an intergeneric cross (and backcross) with Brunsvigia. One of these "Amarygias" is a white form called Amarygia parkeri - this may be the one you have. -|<ipp ________________________________ From: pbs <pbs-bounces@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> on behalf of Kathleen Sayce <kathleen.sayce@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, October 14, 2019 3:37 PM To: pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Subject: [pbs] white amaryllis belladonna? Here is a mystery bulb to ponder. See attached. White flower, lovely trumpet, very like Amaryllis belladonna or a husky nerine, 5 stamens, 2 filaments, one stigma, 6 petals, one slightly smaller than the rest on the bottom. Flowering for the first time ever, started just a few days ago, about 14 inches tall. No sign of leaves so far. While I grow several selections of A. belladonna, they are all variations on pink, and are in other places in the garden, 20-40 ft from this bulb. Any comments on identity much appreciated. Kathleen PNW coast, where the weather lately is like northern California in fall, coolish, sunny, too dry _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com//… _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
