| I am looking for a source for the Amaryllis Belladonna bulb. I have looked all over the Phoenix area and also called all the major local nurseries, and nobody I have spoken to knows what this bulb is (most of them think they do, but nobody has one). |
| The majority of bulbs are planted in the fall when temperatures have cooled off here in the low desert, so few nurseries will carry any stock in late April. Many people confuse A. Belladonna with the Hippeastrum, which is available before the December holidays and commonly called Amaryllis. If you haven't already, you might try asking for it by common names, such as Belladonna Lady, or Naked Ladies. Here are two catalog sources that offer it: McClure & Zimmerman 108 W. Winnebago St. PO Box 368 Friesland, WI 53935-0368 1-800-883-6998 [email protected] Brent and Becky's Bulbs 7463 Heath Trail Gloucester, VA 23061 1-877-661-2852 www.brentandbeckysbulbs.com (under construction) |
