From Veronica Read's book Hippeastrum, Aphrodite was registered in 1994. It was bred by Miyake Nursery in Japan. Many of the doubles do not have normal reproductive parts, so what you are discribing is not uncommon. Candy Floss is a Hadeco (South African) cultivar. You should be able to get it in Canada, its not particularly rare. You need to google Canadian nurseries that sell Amaryllis.. Eden Blooms in California, might have it in the fall: They carry more Hadeco cultivars than I have ever seen anywhere else.. I think they still have Blushing Bride right now, which is very similar. I don't know which Ameriican nurseries will ship to Canada. Hadeco has a retail site but, as far as I know, only sells to England and Europe.
