A number of the mini-Amaryllis are available on eBay, for prices varyng
between $2.29 amd 14.99--3-5 dealers. Varieties are: Trentino, Estella
(lavender) , Little Devil,. Firecracker, Baby Amoretta, Apple Green,
Bellisimo,Pach Blossom and there may be other minis.
Of course the large ones are there. Do not look under hippeastrum--but
Amaryllis. unless you want a cybister and other more botanical ones--some
from Thailand.

Hello Dennis,
What mini ones were you able to locate? I would love to find some of
those locally.

We've got a blizzard rolling in, excellent!
Ummm.... let's see, I bought a variety called "Roseum" which says the
bulbs are only 1 inch across.
And then I bought another variety called "Santa Rosa" which I'm not sure
is miniature, but the flower petals are considerably smaller than the
other varieties.
The Roseum bulbs were so cheap I bought half a dozen, and intend to put
them all in the same pot.

already arrived & been planted.
