Lycoris squamigera

Early plants have become coming into bloom for three
weeks already in the Ozark foothills around St Louis
and the main crop of flowers appears at peak.
Strangely I have a clump in a shaded area that shows
no sign of blooming yet. I have found that clumps in
various places in my garden can vary tremendously and
I would not be surprised to still have this clump
appear next month. I have moved all my other Lycoris
to pots and chinensis, radiata, sprengeri and
albiflora are all popping up with blooms. I was
surprized a month ago with a radiata in bloom and
since it usually blooms as late as october/november I
didn't even recognize it at first, thinking it had to
be something different. Since I will be moving to the
triangle area next year I am interested when the bulk
of the radiatas bloom there.
