My story is one of Lycoris radiata. A friend brought some he dug from his parents yard. Even knowing they do not like to be bare, I left them in the container for probably 6-9 months. This spring I finally planted them thinking I would never see them again. Several have popped up through the cedar mulch under the tree. Kind regards, Joyce Miller Joyce E.
