Lycoris radiata, a perennial blooming
around Autumnal Equinox day, inhabits paths between rice fields,
roadsides, or riverbanks. The linear, dark green leaves begin to
sprout in late autumn, growing up to 30-60cm in height, 6-8cm in
width, in late autumn, and alive until the following spring. Flower
stalks, appearing from bulbs beneath the ground, grow up to 30-50cm
in height, bear 5-7 red, umbellate flowers, bloom facing the sky. |
