Dear bulbophiles, The first Amaryllis belladonna of the season has popped in Berkeley. This is going to be an early year. I'm continuing to collect data for the blooming time for this species. This would be the fourth annual email that I have sent out to the group requesting your help to collect data for a project. The main goal is to collect blooming time of Amaryllis belladonna to determine what cause the flowers to break dormancy and start growing. So far based on three year's data, the blooming time correlated with temperature. I would like to collect more data as it will support the temperature hypothesis. This is where you can help. Please visit the survey form below: http://goo.gl/forms/ntoV05wep9/ Once you're there, just fill in the blanks and that's it. Please feel free to fill in as many times as you wish as they continue to bloom or if you see them elsewhere. Thanks in advance for your help! Nhu
