I visited Bill's Amaryllis nursery a few years ago and it is well worth seeing. He also had beautiful specimens of Haemanthus in flower at the same time. I bought a few of his Amaryllis selections for my brother's garden, which is also on the Monterey Peninsula, and they've done very well. Now if mine would only, ever, flower.
