From Jim Waddick:
1.Seeds of Lycoris sprengeri This is a smaller size Lycoris with variable
flower color from rich pink to nearly all blue. Most flowers are some shade
of pink with 'electric' blue petal tips. Height around 15 inches. For more
information see

pdf and pix at
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… This is
obviously a fertile diploid and the parent of many lovely hybrids. Seeds
should be planted immediately as they lose viability quickly.
