Amaryllis issue

Does anyone know what this is that’s affecting a couple of my amaryllis plants? They’re old bulbs (couple of years) and if flowers come they seem fine. maybe I’ve stored them wrong? Thanks!

    Not sure it that is woolly aphid or a fungus, but either way, wiping the leaves down gently with some cotton wool dipped in methylated spirits won't do any harm and might do some good if it's aphids.

    Brilliant thank you. Haven’t seen any actual aphids on it so I think it’s probably the fungus.

    The woolly ones don't look like the others, they look... woolly! I've only met them once myself, on an orchid I got from the rescue shelf last summer (came with free gift!) but the meths worked just fine. :)
