    Quick question. I have probably 50+ hippeastrum bulbs I force in stages each year. But I just bought my first bulbs of "true" Amaryllis (Belladonna). I'm in zone 7b/8a, and understand they're to live outdoors instead of trying to force. But aren't these supposed to be planted the same as hippe's - with their shoulders and neck above the soil? The picture on the bulb package says to plant them 4-6 inches deep, and I just can't imagine...
