I should love to see such a sight - or indeed almost any Lycoris at all,
this country being a notoriously no-grow area for the genus. But my question
is, how do such displays develop? Is it from seed?
Are the ones observed in western Virginia adorning 'every small town'
passed from garden to garden in a neighbourly fashion?
