Dear Denise,
	I don’t know who put this page together, but it is a couple of years old. I just happened to find it. Some folks are VERY stubborn about these two bulbs. Seeing these compared makes it really very obvious. 

	I know that Amaryllis belladonna is impossible  to to grow outside here in my Zone 5 Kansas City and Lycoris squamigera is easy and hardy at least a few zones further north.  This shows the frustrating situation where two very different plants have the same set of common names.

	This site will come in handy oftenI think:

PS Is this Mary Sue’s doing? Thanks to any involved PBS members.

Jim, thank you so much for posting the link to that page. I have had arguments with people many times about this and now have some place to tell them to go (besides you-know-where) to back up my "opinion".
Much appreciated!
