Dell spiked my interest when he mentioned that years ago someone donated seed of Hipp.angustifolium to the APLS SX. I was one who received seed of this magnificent Hippeastrum. Most of the seed germinated and for two, maybe three seasons they thrived in their community pot. But the season that I was counting on potting the individual plants up, the community pot was stolen. I used to encourage anyone to come in and see what I had and if I had something they liked and I had some to spare I would either sell or swap. I'm a little more discriminaating now as to who I allow to visit. The person who has them now would be the only person in Australia who has. I hope they enjoy them.
