>Dear all; Wish Jim McKenney would give his location when wishing for hardy bulbs. Actually wish all would give location every time they say "here'! I've grown Lycoris chinensis in the garden here for years where it is totally hardy, multiplies and I get lots of seed. I should L.longituba flava, caldwellii, and probably L. koreana (although I haven't tried the latter outdoors yet). L. chinensis is a large impressive and gorgeous golden yellow late summer bloomer that is essential here in a cold Zone 5. Unfortunately L. aurea (and related L. traubii), both from Japan, are far commoner in the trade and far more tender too being unhappy with any serious frost. >3. a truly hardy, vigorous yellow-flowered Lycoris Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W.
