This year one bulb, blooming for the first time is an amazing beauty.
Pure bright canary yellow without the dull buff seen in most hybrids
or the golden/pink tinge leaning toward pure chinensis. Large flat
petals suggest L.longituba parentage, but at 3 ft tall with 7 5-inch
wide flowers it is a knock out. This is the first Lycoris I have seen
that is a pure yellow color, not tinged or dulled with other shades.
Jim,
This sounds incredible. I hope you have taken pictures. If you need help
posting them to the wiki I am volunteering to either do it for you or show
you how, your preference.
I can't offer you any help as far as propagating these things, I am still a
Lycoris beginner. It would be great if this can be figured out and you can
duplicate some of these incredible forms.
Regards,
Jay Yourch
