Amaryllid Sources in USA- Griffinia and allied
R.J. Lopez (Mon, 19 Jan 2004 07:29:26 PST)

Hello Friends.

First allow me to say that I read all your messages regularly though I
rarely post. TOW's in particular have been a great education. Keep it up!

I think of myself as a beginner at only 3 years of growing and collecting.
My frostfree garage contains a modest collection of about 200 pots.
Amaryllids and irids in particular have become a passion for me and I have
started to explore them in detail, especially after purchasing the RHS
Manual of Bulbs and thoroughly viewing the wiki site.

I am very fond of blue/lavender/purple. As such, Griffinias and Worsleyas
have really become attractive. Are there other amaryllidiaceae that share
this coloration?

Doing a google search for bulbs to purchase I found Amaryllis-plus as a
source for these bulbs in the US. They have a couple. But that is it. Also,
haven't found any seed sources. Can you guys help steer me in the right
direction. I'd also appreciate some links to cultural information you have
found particularly useful. Replies to benderlaw a t hotmail dot com.
