Hello All, I'm going to jump in here too. I have several hippeastrums with this dicoloration as well. In the past I had destroyed the bulbs thinking it was an uncurable virus that would spread to my other amarylllids. I'll have to try treating tem in the future. Pardon my ignorance but is this twin scaling? Warm regards from Boston where we just had an unbelievable 2+ feet of snow!!!!
