I visited the site and I see they have posted so pink varieties. I'll give them a buzz tomorrow to see what else they might have. Thank you for the suggestion and I'll let you know what I find. -Ralph

I have never done that but should. Each year I think about it but that's as far as it gets. My amaryllis that I have had for three or 4 years now is sitting outside in a pot....I meant to put it in the ground but never got around to it. It now has a bud! Should I repot it when I bring it in before frost? It has been in the same pot all this time. I understand the bulb feeds when it is in the ground, but this is still in the potting soil.

teresa, it's different every time; just depends on my mood. Sometimes I brush olive oil on the lavash, then top . . . sometimes I use a marinara sauce. Sometimes I use just veggies, other times I add meats; always lots of cheese. I always crisp up the plain lavash in the oven before topping, though not completely crisp because they cook so fast. Then once they're topped, they only take about 5 mn. @ 450 to cook. You have to watch them because they go fast (as you can guess I learned the hard way :)

The true M. erythrophylla with single deep red 'bract' (actually a sepal) will grow OK in Sydney in a frost-free sheltered spot. The Botanic Gardens had it growing for years in their shrubberies. The plain white M. frondosa was once quite widely grown here and could be found even in suburbs that got a degree or two of frost. I haven't seen it around much lately The 'philippica' types like Aurora and Queen Sirikit can survive in only the most sheltered sites in Sydney. I have never seen one that looked any good, but I guess with the right heat-trap spot you could get an attractive specimen. Even in the tropics they often look scraggy.
