I'm puzzled by this discussion. I thought the genus Amaryllis had only one species. Are there others, or is this discussion of hybrids referring to crosses with other genera (which are well known)? Thanks, Mary Sue, I will move my Amaryllis bulbs into a sunnier spot. I put them in the warmest, most sheltered site in the garden, but it doesn't get full day sun. However, I remember my grandmother's garden in Lodi, California, where she grew "naked ladies" in a sort of raised bed, which was partly shady, and they flowered well.

Of course you can't judge size from the flowers. > _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
