Nope.  I do know the difference.  I really was asking about the 
pink-flowered Lycoris squamigera.    I also grow Lycoris radiata and 
enjoy it in my plant room and a trial bit outside.  I hadn't noticed the 
name hurricane lilies before, thanks for sharing it.

and really I don't quite think of my climate as warmer wintered.  At 
least not this week.

Neither did those of mine outdoors.  Squirrels ate the flowering stalks, 
so the Lycoris radiata now live in a cage.  (G)

                    Marguerite growing in:
Zone 7, 3700 ft altitude, under the slope of mount Cuyamaca near the 
Laguna mtns. of California.
