Beautiful flowers thanks for uploading this!

[@Hallam001]

Thank you so much for the video. I have just bought some bulbs here in the UK. First saw them in 2010 on the site of my father's POW camp near Mine City. I am planning on growing them in pots - outside in summer, in a conservatory in winter.

[@j.leebonnet2065]

thank you sooo much for your wonderful video!! I have several dozen red spider lilies in my garden here in Nashville but am overwhelmed by the gorgeous lush swathes of thousands in your footage of Japan :-)

I live in GA in the US south and had these grow randomly IDK why or how.

[@intelligencetest]

I remember these blooming shortly after Obon. Some families would leave vases of spider lilies at their deceased relatives' memorials.

Too beautiful

[@pamelamccarthy1412]

In the Southeastern U.S. we sometimes call these hurricane lilies. Their blooms are a sign of hurricane season.

[@FallnAngel143]

Finally after watching just one of these pop up in my yard for 3 years around October, I know What it is. It literally pops up over night. I've tried pulling it up and it comes back year after year. Crazy.

[@goerizal1]

these plants in my garden has a leaf phase from spring to lste summer which then disappear before the flower stalks comes out just like the autumn flowering colchicum autumnale.jis that also true there?

[@botanyboy1]

Lycoris radiata usually goes fully dormant here by the end of May, then flowers in mid to late September, and soon after begins growing new leaves that last all winter. That is also true of L. aurea.

[@goerizal1]

@:botanyboy1: thanks. your answer is very helpful. i live in a south western chicago suburb where even the japanese black pine cannot survive the winter. the sword like leaves of the lycoris looks nice enough until these die out and often i get pleasantly surprised by the emerging flower stalk. the underground bulb offset into a new plant so slowly unfortunately. i wonder how yours and my lycoris differ genetically.

[@botanyboy1]

If your plants have blood red flowers then it is definitely L. radiata, and since you are in the US, I would guess that your plants are from Japan or Korea, so their genetics should be essentially identical to mine (this form is sterile and can only be reproduced asexually). If the flowers are pink, then you likely have L. squamigera, a more widely grown plant, and far more cold hardy.

[@goerizal1]

@botanyboy1: i just planted red ones bulbs. i had several clumps of the pink ones for many years now, i have not dug out any of these when dormant but the size of the clumps are growing every year so these must be offsetting additional bulb in time. the issue of genetics maybe more complicated. with my lycoris, their genes and epigenes work in such a way that the plant is dormant and invisible above ground from late autumn through winter until early april, dries out and disappear by late summer to reappear as flowering stalks mid september to die out in a few days later while in your plants are dormant april to september then are growing from late september thru the winter until those leaves dry out probably by april to come back later as flowering stalks by late september.

[@botanyboy1]

It could be the climate. This plant comes from southern temperate/subtropical areas. I'd guess your plants are pushed a little too hard by Chicago winters, and it is fascinating that they have adapted and flourish there. Check this year and see if they set seed or not. If they do, they likely are the Chinese variety pumila. If not, they're probably the sterile triploid variety radiata, the much more common form. Lycoris is an odd genus with a number of hybrids that masquerade as species. If you haven't seen this, here is an overview of the genus at the Pacific Bulb Society's site: www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/Lycoris

[@rainejpnsakka3514]

beautiful! I see these in Fukui prefecture. Are we allowed to actually pull them from the roots and replant them in our garden? I know of it's meaning in Japan so I do not want to do something culturally taboo as a foreigner who wants to maintain a good relationship with my Japanese neighbors. However, I always loved looking at them near our river.

[@botanyboy1]

Yes, they can be grown easily in warm weather climates. If you look around I'm sure you can find some growing near a river where they have been washed out by a flood, or perhaps find some dug up by an animal. They usually take one season to reestablish enough to bloom nicely. Why not ask a neighbor about where you can get some? They probably know someone who can help you, or even give you some. One thing, don't eat them! The bulbs are poisonous.

[@rainejpnsakka3514]

Can lycoris be grown in tropical climate s?

[@botanyboy1]

I think it will grow, but I'm not sure if it would bloom. It is worth a try.

[@sarbansengupta6894]

botanyboy1 Thank You

[@007380]

So what is the process of getting more of these plants? Six came up in my back yard this fall and I don't know where they came from. I never planted them and I want more.

[@botanyboy1]

These plants are sterile triploid variants. So, if your stock originated in Japan or Korea, it can only be increased by dividing the clumps. The best time in summer when they are essentially dormant. The Chinese variety pumila is fully fertile and is said to have smaller flowers.

[@showerladdy]

[@pepercat17]

Actually they do reproduce seeds. It's once every 5 years. How do I know? 4 years ago some sprouted up in my back yard and seeded. I foolishly threw the seeds away. I regret it every day 😞

[@whalienS2]

I'd like to give a try I've founded these flowers some days ago on Internet and now I'm obssessed with them Is so hard like this to find seeds??

[@whalienS2]

Sorry my bad English lol

[@pepercat17]

WhalienS2 - No worries. Yes it is hard to find the seeds. They don't pollinate often. Once they do seed you'll know it

[@whalienS2]

Thank u

[@Be_Nice1200]

Aren't Red Spider Lily's native to China and are only "native" to Japan because they were introduced a couple of centuries ago?

[@botanyboy1]

Indeed they are transplants from China (or so it is assumed). The exact timing of when they were brought here is not known, though I would guess they came along with rice cultivation since this plant is so tightly associated with rice patties in Japan. Rice cultivation started here thousands of years ago, sot it is not unlikely that this plant was brought during that time as well. It is assumed that spontaneously occurring sterile triploid plants in China were collected and grown, and then brought to Japan. If you want to learn more about this plant, here is an article I wrote about it years ago: botanyboy.org/lycoris-radiata-japans-red-spider-lily/

[@weirdoscreation]

Touhou Project

[@anidiot4558]

Yes

[@Rinsuki]

Maybe some of them are sterile for accepting pollen and only produce pollen or maybe sterile for producing pollen but will accept it. It happens.

[@botanyboy1]

From what I've seen in Japan, they are completely sterile. This triploid variety of L. radiata has been researched quite a bit over the years, a lot is known about their genetics. L. radiata v. pumila, a fertile diploid from China, has not been found in Japan so far and is the likely genesis point of v. radiata centuries ago. For a new study see Hayashi, et al. "Genetic variations in L. radiata v. radiata in Japan" at www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/ggs/80/3/80_3_199/_html
