I have a huge number of Amaryllis "Multiflora" hybrids here from Les Hannibal, plus a selection from the Bulb Baron. I've been tempted every fall to send a sack of seeds to the PBS exchange, but there's no way I can be sure none of those bulbs have been infected with a virus in my garden. They're spread randomly all over the place in a 2/3 acre area. I didn't want to risk being Typhoid Mary. Anyway, if seeds are safe, I can send them in without fear. Now all I have to do is remember to collect them... Mike San Jose, CA
