Apparently I wasn't paying attention, because after seeing Kelly's note I went out and checked, and sure enough some of the L. chinensis have been open for several days and the L. squamigera are, as Kelly says, coming up en masse. Stems are showing on several others, especially L. longituba, but no sign of L. sprengeri yet, and of course L. radiata will be the last.
