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 -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
