Dear Lee: I would have to agree with the others that your Lycoris is an Amaryllis belladonna. I ordered 'Flaming Dragon' from Van Bourgondien two different times. The second clump bloomed first and has turned out to be Lycoris radiata. The first clump finally bloomed this year and looks more like the photograph they portrayed as 'Flaming Dragon'. It's extremely beautiful to me, because it looks like a L. xhaywardii on color steroids, very dark. Lee Poulsen wrote: > I got this bulb from Van Bourgondien a few years ago.
