Dear David:
Was that your telephone number? o1752 301402 tried to call you to wish
you the best for 2004, but had no luck. I noted that Plymouth Argyle
were doing well, about time! Cheers, John E. Bryan

I had a few seeds from a single head of Amaryllis belladonna last
autumn, since germinated, and now have 3 additional young plants, Am I
correct in thinking this was self fertilised or should I be trying to
remember what was around at the same time. It could only have been a nerine?
Hi Brian,
Yes most likely to be selfed, but of course you cannot exclude the
possibility as things can happen naturally. 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.
Best Wishes,
Dave
