Jim:

I have stems of L. longituba and L. chinensis breaking ground at this
time. We have had weather very close to what you have described. I may
have assisted the emergence with some supplemental watering two weeks
ago. We had a thunder storm over the weekend that produced about two
inches of rain which will surely give all the lycoris a boost. No sign
of L. sprengeri yet.
