Lycoris sanguinea, a bulbous perennial found in fields
and mountains, emerges dark-green leaves in early spring from
underground bulbs extending 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.
