Hi Jim, Unfortunately it is very familiar in my memory even if it was nearly 20 years ago. I avoided bulbs for a long time after that. I'm back at it again, still trying to find sources for many of the rare Hymenocallis I lost then, not to mention the even rarer Hippeastrum species. I think they were 'Pax', 'Herlios' and 'Icon' if I remember correctly.
