lycoris
One of the great joys in the September garden is the sudden appearance of the Lycoris radiata. These were found in the garden when I moved here and I have divided them and spread them until I have quite a colony. They are dormant in the spring and summer, bloom in the fall and have foliage through the winter. Nonconformists like me. Perhaps that is why I am fond of them.
We will have houseguests today and overnight and then tomorrow there will be another trip to visit mom.
