Last week I traveled to north-central Minnesota. On my way northward, I stopped for lunch in Clear Lake, Iowa. Under the town's welcome sign, there was Lycoris squamigera still in bloom, but starting to fade. It was a surprise that it was still in bloom and so far north. It has obviously been in-ground for a few years due to the clump size. --Jerry Lehmann Olathe, KS, USA
