I have a few small Hippeastrum mandonii (RARE Amaryllis) plants to trade. I bought this mother plant five years ago, she finally gave out some babies for me:) The flower is different than normal amaryllis, is nearly all green flowers are tipped with deep crimson.
To know more about this plant check these websites below. I could send you picture probably faster if you check on yahoo hehe! http://www.calhortsociety.org/Plant_Forums/sep2004/source/sep-2004-13. htm http://www.floralarchitecture.com/price_list.php?genusname=HIPPEASTRUM I am looking for Orchid Dendrobium speciosum var. Hilli " Don Brown". Any yellow color or gold is fine. Thank you for looking!

| Hi I have the plant you are looking for. Hillii is not yellow or gold. It is nearly white with a slight yellow, the flowers are small and pinched but there are very many of them making a lush foxtail. The plant I have is a young one, 4 years old with 7 to 8 growths, probably 3 to 4 years from blooming. Don Brown is not an exceptionally good speciosum. The flower size and shape is not note worthy. It got so much attention because the awarded plant was so big. 2,000 lbs, needed a fork lift to put it in place and it got a very high Culture award for the outstanding growth that was on display not because of the quality of the plant. A smaller plant of similar nature would have been ignored by the judges. If you want rich deep gold or yellow on a large, open flower these things are around but expensive and hard to find. At our own orchid show a vendor had 2 plants like that, in bloom, one spike each but great quality. He wanted $300 for each of them and I was dicking with him hoping to get a better price near the end of the show. Suddenly both the plants were gone. He claims he got $500 for each of them. If you still want that Don Brown get back to me and I'll look up those Amadillos or whatever it is you have. Nick |

| Hi again I have 2 D spec var Hillii 'Don Brown'. The smaller one and the one likely to be traded has 4 canes with leaves and 3 smaller leafless canes, At least 3 to 4 years from bloom. I have a larger one with 20 odd canes, some 12" plus long. Has not bloomed yet but should do so anytime. That sized plant sells for $300 or more in Santa Barbara and would also be expensive to ship. Let me know, Nick |

| do you have interests in any other orchids, for I do like Hippeastrum species. I have a fairly large collection of Orchids and would like to arrange a trade for one of your hippeastrum pups thanks...Ron |
