Title: Lycoris 2020
Post by: fermi de Sousa on February 20, 2020, 02:10:11 PM: This year Lycoris sprengeri put up the first flower but I missed getting a pic :-[
Luckily a second stem came up in another part of the garden :)
cheers

Welcome, Koneko - strong flowering there!

Nice to meet you,Maggi Young . L.radiata and L. albiflora bloomed.
L. radiata blooms near the Equinox Day, so it is called equinox flower in Japan.

Have you ever been?

Post by: koneko on September 22, 2020, 02:50:09 PM: Hello,Gail. It's one of the most famous places, I've never been there, though. I recommend rice terraces which have yellow rice ears, blue sky and red lycoris
There are various size places in a wide area of the country. So we can get there more easily.
Some place are actively promoting as a regional development project.

I bought this as Lycoris radiata from a well-known purveyor of dutch grown bulbs and was very excited to see the flower bud but, although undoubtedly a lovely flower, it is Nerine not Lycoris.
