Subject: [pbs] Lycoris season

Dear all -
As an admitted Lycori-phile, I am always glad to announce the
start of the season. My first species . L. sanguinea kiusiana has
already come and gone with a very short bloom season in our extended
heat and drought. This is one of the smaller species and each stem
rarely has more than 4 blooms per stem, but the pale orange-
tangerine flower color is a treat.

Regardless of speculation, there did not seem to be any
flowering 'cue' provided by a major change in temperature or
rainfall. They just bloomed.

Next... Jim W.
