Lycoris squamigera / Natuzuisen ナツズイセン

 
Lycoris squamigera, a perennial herb originating in China, escaped from cultivation and grew in the wild in sunny village grasslands. Sprouting from underground in early spring leaves tinge powdery white, 20-30cm long, 1.8-2.5cm wide, and wither in early summer. Flower scapes grow to 50-70cm tall and set some numbers of light red-purple flowers. The flowers are 8cm in diameter, the largest in the Lycoris genus, and bloom sideways. Bloom time: August-September.
