From Jim Waddick:

SEEDS:
1. Lycoris chinensis Yellow Hardy Surprise Lily. This species is
very hardy in Zone 5/6 with typical bright golden yellow spidery
flowers and spring foliage. These seeds come from a mix of plants
including possible hybrids with L. longituba, but all are yellow and
have species characters.

2. Lycoris longituba longituba and L. long. flavum. The typical
form has white lily like flowers on 30 inch stalks, spring foliage
and is very hardy in Zone 5/6. These seeds come from plants including
the pale yellow form flavum with pale yellow flowers. Expect a mix of
seedlings.

3. Lycoris chinensis x L. longituba. These seeds are from a
delightful mix of crosses between the golden yellow spidery L.
chinensis x the white lily form L. longituba. These have tall stalks
with large white to golden flowers in a variety of shades and forms.

4. L. sprengeri is a smaller Surprise Lily with pink flowers
