I don't think this is insect related.  Other than the haemanthus, which I
raised from seed, it only affects three pots of amaryllis  that I have, two
of which are bulbs of color forms that I bought two years ago.  They
however have not been in close proximity to the pot of the more common pink
ones.  The haemanthus is less affected and I raised it from seed, but it's
pot is next to one of the amaryllis pots.

* *I did just locate a picture of necrotic spot virus on an oncidium orchid
leaf at
http://freshfromflorida.com/pi/enpp/…
that
looks a lot like what I am seeing on these amaryllis. There is a site that
discusses this virus on a amaryllis but it is currently unavailable.
