The Hippeastrum (cut Amaryllis) product specification changes as of 1 September 2011. The following points have been changed:
· As of 1 September, the Hippeastrum must be auctioned per stem. The bunches codes will no longer be used. The amendments will allow the Hippeastrum to be auctioned and paid for in a consistent way.
· At position 5, the grading code L11 has been added. Grading code L11 (number stems per bunch) with value 003 is indicated if the Hippeastrum is packed in bunches.
· At position 6, the grading code S94 has been added. Grading code S94 (other information cut flowers) with value 005 = added own leaf or value 006 = added another leaf is indicated if the bunched Hippeastrum is packed with a green branchlet in each bunch.
