Some early autumn flowering bulbs

Lycoris aurea trying to flower in my front garden,and waiting on some sunshine to open the flowers.

Well done Michael!
Is it hardy in Ireland and can you make it flowering every year?

Oron, you are the expert here. Is this carnival of new names well founded? Should we change our labels?

No Poul, it is not hardy and this is the first time flowering.The first frost will probably kill it.

Cheers

Michael.

Well, i think it was a right move to split the Prospero from the rest of the Scilla as they are very different.
Not sure there was a farther need to separate Barnardia.
But again what counts now a day is genetic.
Personally, as I'm not a scientist, and i have already said it, i do not see a reason to separate species which human eye can not tell the differens.,
we simply can not send each plant of which lable is lost for a genetic test in order to know what it is...

Few Colchicum are already flowering, and now Drimia fugax, from Corsica, and Scilla (Prospero ) sp. from Morroco

probably your Scilla spec. is S. obtusifolia ?

[Gerhard Raschun]

just another Scilla species

Thanks, Oron. If we keep the old names along with the new ones things will be easier.

Lycoris aurea in the front garden.

It has  opened today with the little sunshine we got.

Superb !!!
Aurea is a good species name

Much better than it supposedly valid name, africana.
