Dave, Please modify Scadoxus Parent Plant entry as follows: Blood Lilies (Scadoxus)

-Underground structures:
Delete Rhizome (rhizome can be added to those which also produce them from the bulb.
Add bulb (Per Kew WCSPF, genus Scadoxus are bulbous, I checked them all. This is also confirmed for various Scadoxus on MOBOT, Plantzafrica and elsewhere).

-Propagation: Seeds:
-Depth to plant seed:
"Surface sow."
-Other info: delete existing entry and replace with the following. (this is simply to reduce word count so that it fits)
"Harvest berry when red (ripe) and drops at a touch. Remove seed(s) and clean. Relatively short seed viability period. Keep medium moist, not dry or soaking wet, while bulblet is produced. Leaves appear in a few months.
