Jim, Re: "I have also had numerous experiences of bulbs failing to show the next spring and even the second spring after planting and then appear and bloom the third year. A situation I refer to root re-growth. This condition may occur in other bulbs, but perhaps less intensely. This also results in a person asking for bulbs one year then 2 or 3 years later wanting many more." "Anyway I'd appreciate experiences regarding bloom, growth and multiplication of Lycoris in the Pacific Northwest or elsewhere." The bulbs have been left undisturbed (I don't know if they are still alive). However, if they return I'll be sure to send a report. Louis Mensing Eugene, Oregon
