I have to confirm Diane's assessment of this nursery - Susan Band's Pitcairn Nursery, an excellent source of good quality plants.

And of course, not to decry Anne's Dryad nursery - just untried ... so far

Did you not get some at Dunblane last year Mark? Ian Christie would have had some.

I concur, in the case of both Nurseries, great plants and bulbs, and a couple of 'smashers' ;)

Stag infected Amaryllis


Sorry Mark, don't know my Amarylli.  Can you explain what is wrong with the bulb (apart from looking a bit nibbled)?

Let's start by calling a spade a spade....

It's Hippeastrum.

(which doesn't belong in a thread on Galanthus).

What's wrong is the reddish streaking that is visible in the photo (and on some of my hippeastrum at the moment). It's infected with a fungal disease.

Hippeastrum belongs to the Amaryllidaceae, as does Galanthus, so showing a Stagnospora infected bulb is very relevant to this thread. How would you treat it Mark?

I see what you mean. Perhaps a quote might have linked it to the original question?
.... it does now! edit M

No matter....

Like yourself, I'm interested in hearing how people are handling the problem...

Sun, Snowdrops, Cyclamen coum ?   Can you all see me turning green with envy here? Yes, we had a bright enough day, until about half an hour ago, the wind is making it colder than it need be but still very little movement in garden growth.
Enjoy it while you can, Rob!
