" There's a few people trying to cross Amaryllis and Nerine at the moment, give it ten years and we might see quite a few nice bulbs being produced." I purchased a bulb last year that is a nerine (white) crossed with Amaryllis Belladonna. The flower looks just like a nerine but very large. It bloomed again this year, very hardy for me in zone 21 (Sunset) Southern California, San Gabriel valley near Pasadena Ann Marie So. California, San Gabriel Valley, Zone 21 (Sunset Western Garden book) , influenced by both marine and interior air(Santa Ana winds). This makes it perfect for Citrus trees and most So African plants. I collect and sometimes sell belladonnas, nerines, oxalis, moraea, amaryllis, palms, epiphyllums, succulents and other south african bulbs. email me at mysticgardn@yahoo.com for list of bulbs and plants for sale.
