Lycoris incarnata is one of the "Surprise Lilies" - in the USA it's referred to as the Peppermint Surprise Lily!
It was a surprise to see a couple of stems pop up last weekend (pics 1 & 2).
Today I found that a few more stems had come up but the original two are already fading,
cheers

Fermi,

I'm surprised that your Lycoris incarnata is blooming in early Summer.  Mine blooms in early Autumn.

Hi Marc,
I think the recent deluge has confused them!

The typical form of Amaryllis belladonna has been flowering in our area for the past week or so.
Ours are mostly hybrids and the first ones usually are the right cerise ones, however this year another type (I think seedlings from a white "Multiflora"),
cheers
