Although I am a 10+ hour drive east of you in a different climate, soils, etc. I am having the same blooming experience as you with Lycoris. Maybe the wintergreen taxa will finally flower well? Aaron Dear Aaron and all, My sentiments exactly. I am currently watering a bed of L. radiata radiata well and hoping to see a good display after our mild winter. L. caldwellii has started sending up stalks now and it looks like around 10 % of my bulbs will bloom. Today is day 81 of exceptional drought. Best Jim -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
