Lycoris sanguinea, a
bulbous perennial found in fields and mountains, emerges dark-green
leaves in early spring from underground bulbs, which extend to
30-40cm in height. As summer sets in, however, they all perish.
Instead, naked flower scapes emerge from the ground to 30-50cm in
height, each bearing an umbel of 3-5 yellow-red flowers. The perianth segments open diagonally upward without warping.
Bloom time: August-September.
