Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Very pale yellow, almost white. This is new to us, but some did bloom for us this fall which confirmed their true identity. They very frilly but much smaller than Lycoris Aurea. The foliage seems to be mid-way between Radiata and Aurea. Cold hardiness is untested but I expect it is less frost resistant than radiata. From China, but perhaps sourced from Burma/Myanmar originally.

Very beautiful pale yellow to cream flowers species. Form is very similar to L. radiata but somewhat taller. Not common in cultivation, but seems to be hardy. Zone 5, possibly
