Hi all, A couple months ago we had a lengthy discussion of propagation of Lycoris. On 27 September, I sliced clean bulbs of Lycoris squamigera and place the resulting chips in a tray on the surface of moist vermiculite. The tray was covered with translucent plastic film and placed in a warm area. Today I observe that white, teardrop-shaped bulblets about the size of a pea have formed on many of the chips of L. squamigera. A few days later, I did the same with bulbs of L. sprengeri. A few bulblets are forming on the sprengeri chips also. It appears that Lycoris, like Narcissus and many other plants in the Amaryllidaceae, are readily amenable to propagation by bulb cuttage. Details will be presented elsewhere. Regards, Jim Shields in central Indiana ************************************************* Jim Shields USDA Zone 5 Shields Gardens, Ltd. P.O.
