Question about Naked Ladies

Nope. I do know the difference. I really was asking about the
pink-flowered Lycoris squamigera. I also grow Lycoris radiata and
enjoy it in my plant room and a trial bit outside. I hadn't noticed the
name hurricane lilies before, thanks for sharing it.
Ummm... Maybe Marguerite meant Lycoris radiata, the red one (hurricane
lilies to some.) It grows easily and blooms readily in our warmer-wintered
Western climates.
and really I don't quite think of my climate as warmer wintered. At
least not this week.
My Lycoris radiata didn't bloom well at all this year.
Neither did those of mine outdoors. Squirrels ate the flowering stalks,
so the Lycoris radiata now live in a cage. (G)
