Lycoris (Surprise Lily, Hurricane Lily) 
Lycoris (Surprise Lily, Hurricane Lily) have long been a geophyte of interest. Since our climate is perfect for surprise lilies, we are attempting to assemble a complete collection, and sort out some of the taxonomic misinformation. It is our feeling that many lycoris species names are simply synonyms, while other lycoris "species" are simply old clonally propagated hybrids. We have assigned Plant Delights (PDN)numbers to designate and monitor individual lycoris clones. We will continue to post images as our collection expands. If you have any selections of lycoris species that we may not grow, we would be very interested in swapping plants. All images are copyright of Plant Delights Nursery Inc. unless designated in parenthesis.
