Amaryllis belladonna and lycoris squamigera

A friend in Indiana sent me Lycoris squamigera when I lived in Portland Or. After nine years the bulbs never flowered, but the Amaryllis always flowered.
If I am remembering correctly, Lycoris squamigera foliage emerges in the spring.

Brookings Or-- where Lycoris radiata refuses to flower also.

Diana Chapman shared an interesting anecdote a number of years ago about a surprise Lycoris flowering in California. You can read it here:

It was speculation on her part that a drop in temperature had induced flowering. California often has sunny fall months and doesn't get cold sometimes until November. You might search the archives as I think this has been discussed a number of times before.

So that being said should I just dig up the lycoris and get rid of them or is there any chance if I put them in the right place and give them proper care that they will do something for me?
