Here on the coast near Watsonville, California, it is the most phenomenal bloom year I have ever had on the Amaryllis belladonna hybrids--10,000s blooming. And here I thought last year was outstanding! I attribute this abundance to the warming climate, all my bulbs are doing better than ever in the last 2-3 years. They did get a few waterings in the months after the rains quit around New Year's, but none after early April. I have also been seeing some of the deepest colors ever, as more of my crosses reach maturity. My season is also peaking now but still many more are emerging from the ground each day. It is a later and longer season than usual. I am available, afternoons only, if anyone wants to make arrangements to come see them. Best wishes, Bill the Bulb Baron (William R.P.
