These Are Popping Up

Written on August 30, 2011 at 1:00 AM, by Miriam Admin

Not sure what these will be. They look like amaryllis of some kind. I’ve planted so many different bulbs in the garden only to think they didn’t survive. I guess they have been storing up reserves and will make an appearance soon. I hope they send up a flower stalk otherwise I’ll still be wondering what they are. Maybe they are really late amaryllis belladonna that are just producing leaves this season and will do flowers next season. Any guesses?

    Both Lycoris and Amaryllis belladonna (any of these “naked” type) are commonly called “Naked Ladies”. I would lean toward the A. belladonna as they more commonly do the end of summer leaf growth. Lycoris can, but it is not nearly as common…

    It is not uncommon for the A. belladonna leaf cycle to occur in the fall, especially in hotter climes – I’m not sure, but if they still follow the same leaf/bloom pattern, you will probably not get blooms for several months; these leaves will die-back and then suddenly one day you will see phallic looking shoots popping up and a few days later your first blooms…
    An amazing trick of nature, IMHO.

    Thanks Dea—I look forward to seeing if they are naked ladies or amaryllis.

    I love it when the garden surprises me, I can’t wait to see what these green leaves will produce! (looks like an amaryllis to me too, but what kind? what color? I like this!)

    Surprises are so much fun. They look nice and happy so it won’t be long before you find out what they are.

    Beverly, I check them every day and so far nothing. I need some patience.

    I don’t know, but they certainly look like Amaryllis!
