Dear Friends, I don't think this topic has been discussed before - The Amaryllis Study Group. Honestly I don't know much about it myself other than an occasional email and news. The contact email is <amstgrp@yahoo.com>. The most recent email yesterday listed 4 symposia in Jacksonville, St. Petersburg, Rainbow Springs , Del Rey Beach and Oldmar Florida just in the first three weeks of December. and the intriguing note: "It is now within everyone's ability to bring amaryllis into bloom any week of the year." Anyone else interested in this or can tell more? Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd. Kansas City Missouri 64152-2711 USA Ph. 816-746-1949 Zone 5 Record low -23F Summer 100F +
