Dear Friends, Amazing what an inch of rain can pull from the ground. Now 2 days after seeing nothing I have stalks emerging from L. squamigera, L. sprengeri. L. chinensis. L. longituba and some of their hybrids. These range from just poking out of the ground and up many in the 4 to 8 inch range and one clump of L. squamigera probably to bloom tomorrow and join the earliest L. longituba. Still no sign of L. sanguinea More rain equals more Lycoris. Best Jim -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
