Unusual Amaryllid foliage

On a little day-trip to some growers in the
North San Diego County area this past weekend,
we encountered these fantastic 6-7 year old
seedlings with some really interesting foliage ...
Ken,
Both are gorgeous foliage, and I've never seen
either foliage before. I think I'll have to
track down both of them now. You're having a bad
effect on my collecting addiction. <grin> I
always look forward to Massonia pustulata each
year, but these two of yours are something else again.
Thanks.
Cheers.
