I recently received a submission for the Rock Garden Quarterly on growing Galanthus (snowdrops) in a cold part of the USA. The author, Hitch Lyman, who has a small snowdrop nursery called Temple Nursery, mentioned that a disease of so-called amaryllis -- i.e., florists' hippeastrums -- is fatal to Galanthus, though often tolerated by the hippeastrums. I am querying him but he mentioned the red streaking the disease causes--is this Stagonospora? He recommends not growing hippeastrums anywhere near Galanthus for this reason, since so much of the former stock is infected with this disease.
