AMARYLLIS ADVICE

The article about amaryllis bulbs (“Stunning Winter Show,” Winter 2017/18) states that a 24 to 26 cm (9 1/2 to 10 inch) bulb is very common. Where on earth do you find such a thing? Even on Mark Cullen’s website it states that his are 28 percent bigger than average. This at best is only 7 1/2 inches. I would love to get a few bulbs 9 1/2 to 12 inches in diameter.

Yours truly,
