I want to introduce myself

Chris,

Not sure if it's been discussed but Mauro Peixoto of Brazil Plants may be a
source. I have about 25 species and probably 100 different hybrids most of
which are only 1-2 yrs old. I try to share seeds through the SX, as do
several others. Some even share bulbs through the BX.

Nice to hear from someone else who's into Hippeastrums.

Hi Karl,

I'd like to grow both hybrids and species of hippeastrum. I think the
species are more interesting but there are also a lot of very beautiful
hybrids.

I got interested in China where Hippeastrum just grow outside. I collected
some seeds and then also started searching for more plants. Then I saw some
information about a new species Cardoso Moreira which is very small. That
there are still new species found got me even more interested and now I'm
hoping to grow my collection. So far I only have the plants grown from the
mentioned seeds and one small plant H. Nelsonii.

Has this small new Hippeastrum species been discussed in the society so
far?

Best wishes
Chris :-)

Hi Christian,

I'm a Hippeastrum fan too. What's your focus, species, hybrids or both?
What got you interested in the first place? This is a good place to

acquire

a variety of Hippeastrum, either as seeds or seedling bulbs. Plus,

several

members are excellent sources of information about them.
