Amazing Resurrection Lily, Surprise Lily, Hurricane Lily, Spider Lily, Magic Lily, Naked Lily

[@JimPutnam]

I mislabeled one at 13:17. It should say Lycoris sanguinea and not Lycoris longituba. Thanks for watching!

[@jcking6785]

We won’t hold that against you. LOL!

[@susanbaker2796]

Tony Avent is literally an encyclopedia of horticulture knowledge with an instant recall and love of storytelling. I watch and listen with amazement when you and Stephany film with him. Great video.

[@cherylstrawn9448]

I took a quick walk around my backyard this morning after yesterday's tree trimming and cutting (basically looks like a war zone), and to my surprise--several red surpise lilies were blooming! This is a new yard to me and I have no idea what bulbs are planted where. What a delight! Thanks for the informative video.

[@brendaaymond9751]

I'm so blessed to have been gifted bulbs by both a neighbor and a cousin. We call them naked lily. I love the different names. I have mostly red but a few pink. The pink bloom at least a month earlier than the red. Thank you for sharing.

[@katherinecornette5315]

I love listening to Tony Avent talk about plants. His passion is contagious but he’s so down to earth. Hopefully I’ll get to Plant Delights next weekend. I’m now fascinated by Lycoris!

[@christopherlindley6747]

In NE Texas these pop up every fall. I used to pick them as a kid for my mom. I’m happy to finally know them!

[@suegoetz1221]

I was pleasantly surprised to see a video today. After watching yesterday's video, i thought you would be slowing down some. I need some flowers that bloom in the fall. I"ll be ordering some of these from Tony. I might even make a visit in person.

[@luigi298]

They look so delicate but so dang purdy.

[@aalejardin]

This was so timely. I had planted some "dry" bulbs and was trying to figure out what I did wrong that I have no blooms! Now I know. I will buy some plants for Zone 6b once they are available again . Of course, any time with you and Tony is highly educational (and fun). Thanks again to you both.

[@ruralangwin]

I love these mysterious Lillies. Hard to find in California! Love these amazing people who deep dive into these unusual plants.

[@annebroyles]

I loved this and learned so much about one of my favorite flowers! Thanks again.

[@kso808]

I have some of the reddish-orange (Lycoris radiata) ones in bloom now. They seem to bloom best in dappled sunlight/shade, as Tony mentions. A very much underused autumn bulb.

[@merryhaveman353]

Thanks for this video, have really been looking forward to it. Love to see the varieties and learn so much about the Lycoris.

[@SteveL2012]

We bought a property in North Georgia in January. We have been ‘surprised’ by a succession of these lilies since mid-summer. We had white and pink bloom this summer. Then about two weeks ago, the red/coral came up by the hundreds. A delightful surprise. Most were in long drifts but we had a number that seemed randomly planted in garden beds-we realized likely the work of squirrels. 😊

[@janschlachte9829]

This was the perfect time for this video. We have an empty lot where the owner knocked down the house in the spring and planted grass. There is an old oak tree maybe 100 years old and under it are these strange things that look like sticks with orange reddish flowers. I now know what they are. Sshh maybe I should go dig up a bulb when no one is looking.

[@johnmyers7008]

Here in lower and middle Georgia I have always known them as Spider Lily. Great video, thank you, Jim!

[@jcking6785]

I have pink “Naked Ladies” and I just love them! Thank you Jim and Stephany for bringing us another very informative guest. I’ve been a Tony Avent fan for years. He has piqued my desire to acquire some more lycoris. 💗

[@marysmith9361]

When we moved to Ga, I saw these growing in a lot next door and was told they were Naked Ladies! I now have them all over the yard, I like them.

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

Thanks Jim that was a great interview🌿

[@trace9657]

Interesting video, loved the roaming cat.

[@katiekane5247]

I don't have any Lycoris yet but I've managed to produce seedlings on my Amaryllis. I was sure they'd die off their first winter but they're still growing. I got a seed pod on my Phaeleonopsis orchids this year! Edit: love Tony's enthusiasm, knowledge & kitties!

[@florneiers5651]

Tony is amazing!!!!!! He is so passionate of his craft! ♥️💖♥️

[@sharonpennington439]

I would love to be able to grow more than just the pink in zone 5 north Missouri.

[@karenwestby-gibson758]

Thank you for all the info. Learned some new. Enjoy this flowers as its like a sign of fall. Sweet memories of the country roads from years past.

[@trixier6505]

So glad for this timely video. It prompted me to look for for my own volunteer spider lilies, which are in radiant bloom!!

[@sandramulchahey8268]

I have been wanting to know more about these, they come up every year in my back yard.

[@glendapeters8899]

Loving listening to Mr. Avent!

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Jim. It’s truly amazing how long it takes to hydrides some plants. 🌺💚🙃

[@beckyscheller9358]

Growing up in the Midwest my mom called these naked lilies. Only have the pink ones in my zone 5 Indiana. ,

[@JimPutnam]

That is another name I've heard many times! Thanks for watching!

[@sonshinelove6181]

I lived in Japan, 1958-1961. The red ones were everywhere, and it snowed every winter that we were there. I lived in Jackson, MS from 1989-2010, and the red ones would spring up wild, in September. They survived the bitter cold snowy winters there also

[@LitlPoot]

Yes - but down here in the South we call 'em Neked Ladies 🤭

[@susanbaker2796]

Haha. Good one, Nancy!

[@juliabinford6500]

I love learning from Tony Avent! Thank you!!

[@junesmart7352]

Fantastic Video! Thanks for visiting with Tony for this wonderful amount of knowledge.

[@thegardenfix]

His knowledge is amazing. Sadly, our few resurrection lilies only bloomed for a couple of days, although they were very pretty.

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

They are so gorgeous!

[@timgarner1957]

Open house today at juniper level botanic garden..this place is awesome..plant lovers paradise. Definitely a must see..staff very helpful and polite

[@JimPutnam]

I was there today as well!

[@timgarner1957]

Thanks for all your hard work .I enjoy your channel.

[@trishferrer8209]

They are all beautiful, and this video is fascinating!!

[@dianne3971]

Love these plants...I have none in my new yard😪

[@thehardygardener3064]

Great info as always!

[@suegoetz1221]

Went to purchase the Lycoris Sky over Sky. the shipping was $33 and the bulb $29. wow. i have to pass. what a bummer.

[@EddyG0rdo]

Talk to your local garden center. They can order it for you.

[@jcking6785]

What a bummer! 🤨

[@sarahhayhurst9944]

Fantastically interesting guy and subject. Thanks for posting ☺

[@lindamiller394]

Wow.

[@cpaslick1]

This was much more interesting than I expected --I have always disliked the lycoris up here in zone 5. They are all pink and very anemic looking --like the ghost of a flower. I've gotten rid of the ones that were already here when we moved in. I didn't know that the more southern varieties are so much more interesting looking. I wish I could grow some of those peachy ruffled varieties!

[@sunitashastry5270]

Try to get some from another source. I am in the Midwest and mine area beautiful pink color, not at all those anemic pale ones that you see.

[@corydickey6977]

I have these tubers I got from a guy says that they are russian lillys the stem is about 4 to 5 feet tall but the pictures I see 👀 doesn't look like it . They have round seed pods , any idea 💡 you can shine some light on it . ?

[@mylesw3909]

Great info and well-done video. How is deer and rodent resistance? I tried the website, but couldnt find info regarding this. Thanks in advance

[@JimPutnam]

Very deer resistant.

[@mylesw3909]

@@JimPutnam thank you!

[@isaacsteinsgarden]

Where to buy I feel like i missed something

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Absolutely stunning ❤

[@trishferrer8209]

My lawncare guys mowed mine down, and were gone by the time I saw pieces of them on the ground. They apologized and said they thought my beautiful lilies were weeds. 😭

[@tigerishapple46]

Their is no blue spider lily?

[@Djdingd0ng]

Did you have the Blue spider lily asking for Muzan sama

[@rayellebishop8168]

I want a couple blue spider lilies, any luck you found any?

[@gardengypsy70]

Hi Jim I received dry bulbs of Squamigera from a broker, I’m going to plant despite now doubting it’s validity. I’m not sure if the name was spelled correctly and it’s definitely dry😮 For other reasons I have no further business with this broker for different reasons. I’m zone 7 a/b the Jersey Coast where we barely get a hard frost anymore…I will be planting this in the next few weeks…

[@vdoniel]

Amazing.

[@aalejardin]

PS to Tony: As you can see from the comments there is clearly a demand for more winter hardy lycoris from those of us in zones lower than 7!

[@nicolegreenough961]

Oh the chonky cat wants a pet! Does he try to keep his cats out of the flower beds at all so that they don’t damage anything?

[@lisab.6818]

I have so many Resurrection lilies on my property that we've had to dig them up and try to move them around because they just take over our landscape

[@jcking6785]

How lucky you are!

[@YawaiAgga]

I saw is was higanbana

[@beckyscheller9358]

Meant to say naked ladies. Lol. Enjoyed the video. Learned a lot

[@susanbaker2796]

I knew what you meant. It's just that you probably don't type the words, "naked ladies" very often. Haha.

[@রেবতিবেরা]

Muzan be like : where is the blue spider lily 🌷🥺

[@terrivance8750]

Jim, I realize you & Stephany are dog people--in addition to twin kitties, I have a beloved canine companion, too--but just an FYI. When you're visiting Plant Delights & their resident feline comes over & rubs against you, it means she likes you & wants you to notice her. Please make her happy & give her a pet or two. 🐈😉

[@kaachi1527]

ISSTH!!!
