Thanks Lee, the Andy link failed. Ever get seeds from your Yume Mitai?

I have a Yume Mitai, but it doesn't have any offsets. I got it from
Komoriya, exported to me by a Japanese friend of mine a few years ago. I
love it. But last year or the year before, Komoriya started selling many of
his hybrids on a Japanese analog of eBay, and this year he now sells on
eBay directly, although very expensively (however, phyto is included). <

I just checked and although it is now out of season for his Hippeastrums,
he is now offering a bunch of his Lachenalia hybrids. I've heard of them
before but never seen any photos. Many of them are spectacular. I've never
seen any Lachenalias like these before. They're pricey, but not nearly as
much as his Hippeastrums are.
On another related note, Andy Houghton (don't know if he's on PBS) somehow
managed to produce an exact duplicate of Yume Mitai via his own breeding
efforts. He's sure it's not an accident. He crossed H. papilio with H. 'San
Miguel'. <

Diana, great advise-thanks. By the way, do you know of anyone who might
have either seeds or bulbs of H. "Opal Star" or H. "Yume Mitai" that they
would sell, trade, or share?
