The lycoris are all blooming here in my Cincinnati garden. I have them planted in several different spots and they're all in bloom. We've had alternating dry and wet periods this season.

Mine are at the front of the cactus ed where they get full rainfall. We had a month that was quite dry when I gave hem supplemental water with the cactus during growing season and then we've had reasonable amount of rain for the past month. egards, hil Andrews > Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2011 16:47:22 -0500 From: btankers@gmail.com To: pbs@lists.ibiblio.org Subject: [pbs] Lycoris Season yet? Jim in Kansas City: Have your Lycoris started to bloom yet? The Chicago region has been inundated with rain/storms this summer with a lot of heat and humidity. I am anxiously (impatiently) watching for the first Lycoris spikes. Discussions in previous years had suggested the sometime sporadic flower spike production was linked to low soil moisture - which is certainly not an issue this year.
