Most of these Hippeastrums have been and gone though still plenty of the smaller flowered apricot ones left.

My Favourite the Big White

A Big Red

And this is a little Jumping Spider I found on the leaf they are so tiny only 1cm in size, they ooze personility and are my favourite spider

Mary Ann, such beautiful photos, you really have learned a lot on your photography classes, or wherever you went to learn. You have the magic touch with flowers and photos. Well done

Hi Creeping Fig, Well, I get my papilio, vittatum, equestre and roseum along with my one favorite hybrid 'Mrs. Garfield' from my friend in India and I am growing 7 new species from seed that I got from another friend so I do not actually purchase any bulbs. Wish I could help, but I'm not familiar with the sellers of these guys. Good luck finding them. I personally think that they are so much more exciting than any hybrid and I am disappointed the one above appears to not be a true species :o) Dan

Oh my Tina, I don't consider myself an expert, I just grow many Hippeastrum species as they're my primary focus! I spend most of my days studying them and such, I've learned a lot from friends that live all over and we've all shared plants back and fourth! I love to send out as many Hippeastrum species as I can via seeds or bulbs, I think it's so imporant to share these endangered species! I have worked on distributing really rare peruvian species and hopefully I can get some more seed out soon as blooming season is coming up!

Hippeastrum ferreyrae - Endangered Peruvian Hippeastrum

Dan, In all reality you're probably right, there are some differences that aren't totally noticeable unless you grow the two side by side and I think they could just be clonal differences. I don't want to doubt the botanists and others that have been working on the genera but I have my doubts as well, the point is the plant will probably end up being Hippeastrum puniceum var ferreyrae but to me this plant is just as important as when it was labeled H. ferreyrae considering the location and the fact it is different from other H. puniceum. H. puniceum var. alba for example is very rare and incredible, sadly it's hard to find in cultivation but I'm sure you guessed that it is a white form of H. puniceum. As for the Peru trip, they had many, MANY problems and my friend had to end up staying several extra weeks. It was very hectic on them and the other trip was rescheduled for a future time. Josh

Hi Donna and Joey (and everyone else reading this), I miss the forum so much! It was a pleasure to take a quick peek today. I was recently in contact with Living Gardens. I'm sorry to report the news contained in these excerpts included in messages received from their representatives. 'LivingGardens.com has currently shut down operations while we undergo some organizational changes, and we will not be offering any bulb products for sale this season." "We will notify you if and when Living Gardens comes back. It will definitely not be for this season, but perhaps next. So, there won't be any 'Thai Thai' bulbs from this source. I'm happy that I received 'Thai Thai' among the "Mystery Mixed-Up" bulbs from Living Gardens last season. Hopefully there will be another supplier this season. Kind regards, Blanca

Lovely. Here they are known as Amaryllis. I have been buying them since they were first introduced here, about 35 years ago from a newspaper add. Have to grow them indoors of course.
I just planted 3 new ones for Christmas. This is the time when the new bulbs are sold.
I love your little spider friend too.
Your photographs are super.

Thanks for that Inga yes they are known as Amaryllis in some countries, three new ones for Christmas what a lovely idea.
I have no idea when the bulbs are sold here as I have never bought any, lots I have grown from seeds that friends have given me
That large white one I bought already flowering in a pot at a Sunday market and my Neighbour gave me the red one and the last pink one.

Great pictures Misty, I only have the "big red" that I split up into two pots and they look o.k., but no flowers yet The Spider is a beauty and looks more friendly than fearsome.

Thanks Chas they are beautiful flowers and they multiply so fast in this sub-tropical weather so I have a few.

Glad you like it cestrum Thanks we have lots of different jumping spiders in our garden.
Because they are so small they are hard to see and most times they are underneath the leaves.
