Sounds like 'Staggie' to me: it is very difficult to cure/control and can be a serious menace in Galanthus and Narcissus here in Europe, but seems to coexist with Hippeastrum, Crinum, Nerine etc. The fungicide Bavistin seems to be the best option available at present, but there may be others as well.

Hi group members, I live in South Africa and grow a wide range of bulbs. I am having trouble controlling the "Red blotch" on some of my Scadoxus. The fungus that causes this, I think, is Stagonospora curtisii and lives inside the plant sells. Could anyone suggest a treatment for this???
