Summary[edit]

Description

Stunning flowers, growing from a bulb. ~0.5m tall

Amaryllidaceae family

Lycoris aurea Native to Asia (China, Vietnam,Thailand )

They are the most unpredictable of bulbs, seeming to be quite affected by seasonal factors, but when they do appear, they are spectacular. The flower spikes appear suddenly in February-March (autumn in Australia), seeming to come up overnight from nowhere! No wonder in Mandarin it called hu di xiao, literally meaning "suddenly the earth smiles". Leaves appear after flowering.

Location: Australia, Brisbane, private garden.
