What's Blooming

In my dormant, but late summer blooming, section of potted bulbs, I
have three scapes coming up. All three are for the first time. They are
Lycoris squamigera, L. incarnata, and one of the bulbs of Amaryllis
belladonna hybrids from Les Hannibal's garden that were offered way
back when. These are all in larger pots (3 gal. ones).

The reason I even have L. squamigera (which isn't supposed to flower in
my area) was that it was offered at one of the local nurseries and
every year it grows a nice set of healthy leaves which have increased
over time. I can't just kill it just because I later learned it's not
supposed to bloom in my area, can I?
