CHAD

The niche Hippeastrum breeder that sells on eBay at times is Maria Mancini
in VA, dba. - greentreasures03. She also grows Clivia and I have bought
Clivia plants and seeds from her. I've never received more carefully
packaged plants than she sends. She's good at communicating, is very
reliable, knows her stuff, and ships quickly.
NOTE: if she has no current listings, eBay will put up another seller with
a similar name that has no relation whatsoever with Maria Mancini.

There is a reliable Japanese vendor who sells on eBay. I have ordered
from them with good luck. You can also order some excellent hippeastrums
from bulk domestic dealers (Sunshine etc.) and niche breeders ( Mary
Mancini ?) on eBay. I haven't ordered from them in a few years so my info
might be outdated.

Has anyone order from dhgate? Having done agriculture business in
China,
I am weary of this site.
Please let me know if someone finds a good seller on dhgate.

I understand that CHAD can be difficult for family harmony. I have a
PTSD from having lived with a collector many years ago--not a plant
collector, but in the extreme case, the symptoms are probably the
same. My situation had a happy ending when I traded him my
half-interest in the collection, for the house and full custody of
the kids.
I have a few hippeastrums in the garden in Mexic/o./ Here in
Massachusetts, I am considering getting one to put indoors on the
bright, cool windowsill. There was a website offering them,
http://dhgate.com/product/…
rum-rutilum/381632910.html
First of all, it says they are blue, and this seems questionable to
me.
Are there really blue ones?
Secondly, he says he ships them from China. Is it possible to mail
bulbs here from China? Or even seeds?
If this isn´t a proper hippeastrum source, could you tell me what
would be?
January seems a bad time for a bulb to be in a Fedex truck in
Massachusetts. It´s cold.
The reasons I´m not afraid that I´ll get CHAD:
I can quit whenever I want to.
Other people have more hippeastrums than I do.
I´m not hurting other people.
I´m not even hurting myself.
It´s not illegal.
It actually improves my performance.
I deserve it.
Everybody does it.
You do it, too.
It´s a disease, not a moral failing.
One day at a time.
