Lycoris/ Topic of the week

Thank you so much Mary Sue for the links and Jim for a fantastic synopsis
into the genus Lycoris! This is the sort of information the wiki and the PBS
needs to continue our trajectory as a world class plant society. Recently
the wiki saw an addition of seed and general cultivation information which I
am very excited about. I highly encourage everyone to contribute cultivation
information about your favorite genus or write an article like Jim did. I
will be glad to help you put it on the wiki if necessary.
Happy fall bloomings to all!

Hi,
This summer there has been a fair amount of discussion about Lycoris and
Jim Waddick has after the fact written a very complete introduction to this
genus. He has also sent me additional photos. I have added both to the
wiki. One of the things I found very interesting as we were working on this
is that he believes many of the "species" are really natural hybrids. So
for all of you out there who are fortunate to live in an area when you can
easily grow this genus (and to the world who will find this information
through the pbs wiki and a Google search) here is the link:

Clicking on Garden Lycoris and More will open what Jim has written in a new
window. But you can also access it directly here:
