Ina, In view of the rather mild conditions you appear experience in Auckland, especially lack of chill nights, I wonder whether you need to take special measure to achieve decent germination of winter-growing bulb seeds and/or whether you think too much is made of providing chill. I know your interests seem to be directed more to the Central American amaryllids (Zephyranthes, etc.) where such concerns are not needed but I thought you might be familiar with what growers of the winter-growers need to do.
