Lycoris Season continues
Adam Fikso (Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:09:10 PDT)

My lycoris have all bloomed more than usual (wettest months in many years in
Illinois), and are developing seed pods-- showing on all including
squamigera x any of the following: aurea v. surgens; sanguinea; self;
longituba; radiata; incarnata and reciprocals of each . Since I didn't
expect any to "take"-- I didn't label any (Stupid) . WiIl try to keep
them separate when I go for germination, later.

The observations about extra water in summer being good for the genus is
something I can enthusiastically endorse. It's the best bloom I've had and
the best fruiting results seen from pollination. Viabilty is, of course,
not known yet.

Drar Friends,
How about a bulb topic?

After extended drought and a 1 inch rainfall, the ground is still rock
hard and bloom season has been very slow and slight.
