I agree with Tim and Jan. If there is a color break-through in Hippeastrum or Clivia, you are not going to see it first on eBay. There are also "blue", "purple", and fuchsia colored Clivia offered on eBay from oversea sources. They would be Clivia nosuchianum. I also agree with Arnold. Telos Rare Bulbs is very reliable, in my experience. On Sun, Jan 15, 2017 at 3:46 PM, Arnold140 <arnold140@verizon.net> wrote: > The only one I know is Telos Rare Bulbs in CA.
