Lycoris report - 2

Dear Friends,
The first wave is about over- this includes Ls. squamigera,
chinensis and longituba mainly.
These are all winding down as stems are appearing
(coincidentally a few days after a 2 inch rain fall) on L.
caldwellii, incarnata and an array of hybrids.
L. sprengeri overlaps both groups with stalks just coming up
in some areas, but done in others. Don't know why but all the bulbs
in one area come up at the same time, even though they are all out of
synch with bulbs in another area.

I have taken a few pix of some of the more interesting
hybrids and will post them shortly.

And still working on imports from China. I think the Olympics
may have narrowed email channels and communications will improve soon.

More to come.

Best Jim W.
