What's blooming this week -20 September

Dear Friends,
A few unexpected surprises. Rhodophiala popped up in a pot, very red.

Considering the climate this year, we have a nice clump of
Lycoris radiata in bloom here. Most fall foliage species do badly,
but this winter we had rare snow cover - even with -12 F temps. The
summer was a near record warm. The combination of snow cover
protection and summer heat surely coincides with the best bloom ever
or this species. Even a couple 'abandoned' bulbs sent up stalks.

A few Zephyranthes candida continue to bloom and Lycoris
caldwelli is just about finished.

Best Jim
