As Jeff Walters mentioned McClure & Zimmerman is a good source for
Reticulatas. Also I received a catalog from Jacques Amand, a company
from Britain with a "smashing" color catalog. They do business in the
USA from Potomac, MD 20859, PO Box 59001. Tel: 1-800-452-5414. They
have an extensive listing of I reticulatas, and many color pictures. 20
to be exact. Their prices, which are somewhat high, average $3 or $4
dollars per bulb, and are given in British pounds with a translation
sheet. I found this to be annoying but they have the bulbs!
