Vivian It is interesting. I have just received a message from Easy Grow Bulb. I like this nursery. They have many varieties for our zone 9-10 at reasonable price. I went to their store last June. Amaryllis flowered this week, but they look different from my order. Actually it is much pretty and cheerful. I sent an image to them to figure the name yesterday. They might have many bulbs from growers in Israel? I remember that I purchased new paperwhite hybridized in Israel a couple years before, Scilla bulbs bloom outdoor in your area? We plan to move to your area next summer.
