The prepotted bulbs I’ve seen this year all seem unhealthy. Granted, my purchases were bottom of the market at $5 each so I probably couldn’t expect much better. Scorch and thrips were my adversaries this season. I’ve treated my bulbs and so far no more issues.
Hippeastrum mosaic virus is my first concern since there are some off-color streaks on the scapes. We’ll see what happens when the leaves grow out. This looks like it might need to be coddled more than most, but at least the color and dwarf nature of it are unique-so far!
Nice to know about Honeybee, it looks cute!

What do you think could be ailing your Honeybee?

Some are worth a bit of coddling for sure.
Were the scapes coming up when you bought it? Could be packing and handling damage. I hope it’s not mosaic virus. That would really suck. 🙁
