Oops, I missed that point in Jim's post. This year in my garden (a few milies from PDN) a number of spring-foliage Lycoris bloomed for me without recent lifting: L. sprengeri, L. chinensis, and L. longituba and a few spring-foliage hybrids, Momozono, Lemon Yellow Spider, and October Bronze. The species are in sun, but the hybrids all have overhead shade. Overall a pretty good year, and have hundreds of seeds from dozens of crosses to grow up.
