Jim Waddick told us about the performance of his Lycoris caldwellii this
year..
While we are on this topic, how about some thoughts and praise for Caldwell?
Can anyone tell us a bit about Sam Caldwell himself? I know of him through
the article he wrote decades ago for the American Horticultural Magazine on
hybridizing Lycoris.
What, for instance, happened to his hybrids? Do any of them survive, and if
so have they played a part in present-day hybridizing?
