Received 12 Sep 2019 Accepted 21 Mar 2020 ABSTRACT: Lycoris radiata and Lycoris sprengeri are two typical plants of the genus Lycoris. They have different leafing and flowering patterns. To understand the habits of Lycoris species and regulate the flowering period effectively, we compared flower bud development of these two species using phenological, anatomical, and physiological measurements. Our results showed there were significant differences in phenology between the two species. The sprouting stage of L. radiata took place in autumn, the leaf growth period lasted seven months, dormancy lasted approximately 100 days before flowering, and there was no dormancy period after flowering. In comparison, the sprouting period of L. sprengeri was delayed until the spring of the following year, the leaf growth stage lasted approximately 3 months, the flowering stage took place from Jul–Aug, and dormancy lasted 1–2 months before flowering and for another 6 months after flowering.

(Amaryllidaceae) Kine Hals Bødker http://www.duo.uio.no/ Print: Reprosentralen, University of Oslo II Illustration: Aasne Aarhus, 1976. III IV Acknowledgements It has been an exciting journey working with the most beautiful plant genus of this world. There are many people I would like to thank for being a part of this journey. First and foremost, I want to thank my wonderful supervisors for all their help and support over the past two years. I could not have had a better team. My main supervisor, Charlotte - for your enthusiasm, knowledge, support and the most amazing field trips. In the 1970’s, before I was even born, Inger (and colleagues) worked with Scadoxus, which set the stage for this master thesis. I would like to thank Inger for being my additional supervisor and ultimately giving me this opportunity, and helping me understand more of Scadoxus morphology. Anne – for helping with the analyses, and especially for the incredibly helpful checking of spelling, grammatical errors and also helping me discourse my occasionally overwhelming results. Prof. Clemence Zimudzi and Dr. Tesfaye Awas – for fantastic field work experiences in Zimbabwe and Ethiopia, respectively. I would also like to thank the little kids in Ethiopia who helped us find Scadoxus specimens in places we never would have found without them.

  • The Durable Lycoris Species and the Shared Variety Names
    The Durable Lycoris Species and the Shared Variety Names By Joe Francis, Fairfax Master Gardener The genus Lycoris has 13 to 21 species all sharing the same growth characteristics: a dormancy period followed by a blooming cycle, vegetative regeneration and return to dormancy. Because their dormancy ends with the sudden emergence of a flower scape from a bare surface, these cultivars carry a common name, ‘Naked Ladies.’ Unfortunately, retail catalogs over time quite often mixed their presentation offerings without clear regard to their accurate species nomenclature and their proper cultural instructions. This article will focus on four species successfully photo: Joe Francis grown in the Mid-Atlantic region, arranged by Lycoris squamigera within hydrangea their approximate blooming time: the pink Lycoris squamigera, the electric blue Lycoris sprengeri, the red Lycoris radiata and the yellow Lycoris aurea. Lycoris squamigera In the mid-20th century, gardeners were taught that Lycoris squamigera [common names: Resurrection lily, Magic lily and Naked Lady lily] heralded from Japan was a reliable low maintenance perennial bulb. It makes its vegetative appearance of dense strap leaves in late January. One can expect to see this lush green growth over time join the spring flowering bulb crowd, and then with the greatest amount of discretion fade its winter growth and make way for the spring flowering perennials. It lapses into dormancy during the late spring through the hot parts of the summer. Its period of dormancy is tied to the sun’s descent from its apex beginning in late June. As the angle of the sun changes, so does the soil temperature pattern.

Thaddeus Zagorski University of Tasmania Date: ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is not merely the achievement of a personal goal, but a culmination of a journey that started many, many years ago. As culmination it is also an impetus to continue to that journey. In achieving this personal goal many people, supervisors, friends, family and University colleagues have been instrumental in contributing to the final product. The initial motivation and inspiration for me to start this study was given by Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick, Dr. Elaine Stratford, and my friend Alison Howman. For that challenge I thank you. I am deeply indebted to my three supervisors Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick, Dr. Elaine Stratford and Dr. Aidan Davison. Each in their individual, concerted and special way guided me to this omega point.

  • Garden Lycoris and More by James W. Waddick Lycoris Are Known As
    Garden Lycoris and More by James W. Waddick Lycoris are known as Surprise Lilies, Naked Ladies, Naked Boys and even Pink Flamingo Flowers. The most commonly grown Lycoris squamigera is among the hardiest and most vigorous of the genus and has been grown in the US for well over a century. In southern gardens, Lycoris radiata or the Red Surprise Lily, has been cultivated even longer. There is more to the genus than these two common representatives. I’ll attempt to describe the material available for most garden uses. Excuse some generalities. All Surprise Lilies produce their foliage in fall to spring and are leafless (or ‘naked’) at the time their flower stems emerge in late summer. They tend to prefer light to moderate shade and year round moisture, but tolerate and even flourish in full sun. The hardier varieties do well as cool as Zone 4 or 5, but many are restricted to Zone 7 to warmer. The selection of species and hybrids includes flowers of red, white, pink, lilac, blue, yellow, orange, tan, peach and many intermediate shades on stems from 15 inches (38 cm.) to 3 ft (.9 meters) or more in height. There are two horticultural divisions in the genus: those that produce their foliage in late fall, remain evergreen through winter and are not tolerant of harsh winter climates; and those that produce foliage in spring after danger of hard freezes. The latter are among the hardier species. There are over twenty species centered in China and Japan and their neighbors. In The Garden The hardier group of species prefer continental conditions with cold winters, spring rains and warm summers.
