Hi there Kevin and Jim, Many thanks for your thoughts on my mystery bulb at http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… I'm sorry that I have been slow in replying, but I was off the air for a while. The flowers do have a greenish centre to them, though they are over now so its too late to send a further shot. So, I guess that it is save to call it H. sp. aff. mandoni for the moment. It seems to be a good year for flowering amaryllids here. I've had a great H. stylosum in flower for the past week and Phaedranassa viridiflora. Also, the Tropaeolum, Bomarea and Alstromeria are all flowering well. Having said that, our last frost was only this last week! Thanks again for your help. Best regards, David Victor
