my seed list was last updated 12/7/14. some seeds have been traded/used since then. but I have not found the magic link to update my list. can email current list to anyone interested.

In fact a whole lot of JewelâÂÂs doubling has come through as you can see here. Flowers on two of the scapes have opened with a third scape waiting in the wings. I have a lemon-lime x Dancing Queen which is also opening, but shows very little doubling, so there seems to be a lot of variation. I donâÂÂt have any more of the Giraffe x Jewel to compare it with, unfortunately.

Geoff- not wishing to be a bearer of bad tidings, but your giraffe x double white, posted elsewhere, looks virused too. You need to search for virus on this forum and stay unemotional. Maria and Del will recommend you "burn em", others will say it can be lived with. It is a frustrating situation. Those who "burn em" either have large collections including rare species or live in the south and worry about spreading the virus. Those of us in the north worry mainly about our own presumably virus free hippeastrum. I have ditched heavily virused plants and don't necessarily burn them, I "freeze em" sometimes, and send them to the dump, I'm not so worried in zone 4. Other individuals, such as Pax and Arif, grow with the virus and just accept it. You have seen the beautiful flowers Arif grows. It is a difficult situation either way, many people get very emotional over it. I think you do need to figure out how you will handle it , since it is so obvious that your lovely and nearly blooming plants have this nasty virus. I wish you the best of luck. Also, take note you can take seeds and apparently grow them virus free.
