New wiki photos; Worsleya bloom BUT.....

I grow lots Amaryllis belladonna and they bloomed several weeks earlier
than this did. They're also much larger and have a strong, sweet,
almost candy-like scent, and they have many blooms per scape and much
taller scape stalks. They do so well here that they will naturalize
without any additional watering or care. I got this bulb from Van
Bourgondien a few years ago. Are you saying that those were not
Lycoris? This is not like any Amaryllis that I've ever seen either. I
wonder what it could be.

Dear Lee; et al;
Wow I am impressed with the Worsleya pics. Great. Not an easy task.
I am 100% certain the "Lycoris" is not that genus. Amaryllis
belladonna?
There were a number of Japanese hybrids introduced by Van Bourgondien
a few years ago and they turn up there every now and then.
I am not that familiar with Amaryllis, but I know Lycoris and it
doesn't look like any species or hybrid I know.
Check again.
