Lycoris sprengeri earlier this week.
I so love the look of those blue-stained petal-tips!
cheers

We originally got this as Lycoris x elsiae but it's apparently got a different name now.
This bulb was moved to this rock garden bed a couple of years ago and is the only one to bloom so far,
cheers

I think I'd be very happy with just one bloom Fermi - lovely thing.

Yes, Gail, even one is great because Lycoris aren't a sure thing here.
Lycoris radiata is another one that probably isn't reliable here but this cluster in the rock garden (I've been told that it's totally the wrong place!) seems to flower most years
cheers

fermi, you''ve "been told that it's totally the wrong place " but  luckily, no-one  told  the  plant!  ;D

Yes, Maggi, fortunately the plants don't listen to such information!
cheers
