Hi Aaron,

I assume mine were delayed in flowering by our period of drought through most of July.  Some things happen around Gatlinburg at only slightly earlier dates than they do here in Indiana.

Jim,

That 703A form of sprengerii is a beauty, Jim.  Great colour blend.  That garage clump is darn impressive too.  ;D

Alessandro, I like that shaanxiensis?.  Lovely pale flower.

This is a hybrid that came from China by way of Jim Waddick:  Lycoris [longituba x rosea].  I think it's the best pink lycoris I've seen.

Jim, 

  That hybrid reminds me of Nerine, such a beautiful plant with wispy flowers!

Lycoris caldwellii is just starting to bloom here in my garden.  This one came to me from the Shanghai Botanic Garden in China by way of Jim Waddick in about 2000.  It is growing in heavy shade, which may be why the color looks washed out -- it should be a delicate primrose yellow -- and this clump of three bulbs does not seem to have increased at all in 10 years.

Jim,

  You have so many nice Lycoris species, I especially love your blue longituba hybrids, I would love a bulb if you'd ever wanna share ;)

Hello Tatsuo, it's a long time since we heard from you.... I hope the summer has gone well for you and your plants. These Lycoris look very good.... they are such photogenic flowers.

Hello, Maggi and Wim :) Nice to see you again! Don't you know that I'm a kind of summer dormant bulb? ;D The summer looks staying here even now, the max temperature today was 33C.

Another lycoris in the pictures here taken on 2nd August is Lycoris 'Blue Pearl'.

Is this a form or hybrid of sprengeri?  It is quite striking!
