SOUTH AFRICAN AMARYLLIDS KICK BUTT: MANY HYSTERANTHOUS, AWESOME

I don't expect to see this newspaper headline anytime soon, but by rights I certainly should.

The Amaryllids of South Africa are amoung the most bizarre of the bulbous plants. Practically everything about them is weird: their leaves, their flowers, their habits, even their seeds. In fact, many are so strange that in their country of origin, a special government permit is required to handle them, and special training is recommended even before casual viewing. During this slide show, however, you will have the opportunity to get to know them a bit better without going to all that trouble, or even having to get up out of your chair.
