Mark, Thanks for pointing out this video. I wondered if this was a promotional video for the area although there was no suggestions of tourism or just the joy of Lycoris radiata.? The plant is obviously the sterile triploid L. radiata radiata. I have seen many still pix of this Lycoris planted in parks including a few on the wiki ( http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… <http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…>) where it becomes outraeously lush and abundant. L. radiata can be an agricultural pest in areas where the soils are disturbed regularly to unintentionally divide and distribute the small bulbs widely in the soil. Surprising how aggressive this species can be without producing seed for distribution. I have seen this growing in Hunan Province of China where it grows in very similar spots on the edge of the forest at intermittent stream edges that stay wet or damp most of the year. NO baking bulbs here. Fabulous color, too.
