Here's what it had on squamigera. I don't know what perianth is, will have to
look that up, but the blue in the one I found is very true and not purplish or lavendarish, even though the rest of the blossom has pink to lavendar tones. Leaves first appearing in autumn and then reappearing in spring; perianth purple 11 LYCORIS squamigera + Leaves appearing in spring; perianth yellow or white. (5) Cereoid-UR12- wrote: Lycoris squamigera is very common in cultivation while Lycoris sprengeri is rarely seen. The plant in your photo has flowers with the wavy tepal margins and yellow throat typical for Lycoris squamigera. So, there is no doubt to its identity. http://flora.huh.harvard.edu:8080/fl...axon_id=119162 Lycoris squamigera is considered to be a sterile triploid hybrid between Lycoris sprengeri and Lycoris chinensis. ****************** You can forget about the nitwit trolls like Tomski. As you can see, they add nothing to the discussion other than showing everyone how immature they are and how little they know about plants. All their arrogant puffery and showboating is just overcompensation for their many inadequacies. Jan Flora wrote in message ...

I found a picture of one which is very similar to my flower but the blue is even more pronounced (you will need to scroll down about halfway): http://www.plantdelights.com/Catalog...nt/page62.html In any case, I am very grateful to all who responded. [snipped the sniping] Is the blue in your flower more pronounced or the blue in that photo? (That's a gorgeous plant and a cool nursery -- thanks for the link -- I just requested a catalog from them. *g*) Here's a good photo of a Lycoris squamigera (Naked Lady). http://www.whiteflowerfarm.com/930593-product.html Naked ladies grew all over the yard, when I lived in a Victorian in the Bay Area. I really miss them. The fragrance is wonderful, too. I'm trying to figure out how to grow them in Zone 3. They're hardy to Zone 5. Maybe in big pots that go into the garden shed in the winter? Or tons of mulch? I'll have to get my brother to go dig some bulbs up out of my old garden and send them up. It's worth a try : ) Jan |
