Years ago a friend and fellow plant blogger gave me some Naked Lady/Resurrection Lily (Lycoris squamigera) bulbs. I planted some in a pot and some others in the ground. They grew well for me for years and for the first couple of years I expected to see some blooms, but they never came.
I'd nearly forgotten there were some planted in the ground until I walked around the side of the house last week and saw this:
I don't know what spurred the flowering this year. It's been pretty hot and dry lately and I wouldn't have thought July would be the time of year for these to bloom. After a bit of googling I learned that August to September is the typical bloom season, so I guess late July is not far from the norm. I look forward to seeing these bloom each year now. Hopefully this was the first of many.
