About Yellow
Half a dozen fragrant pale yellow flowers per stalk. The six slender petals are widely separated and slightly curled back.
Probably originated in China as a natural hybrid, /Lycoris chinensis/ x /L. longituba/. The species name honors Sam Caldwell (1904-2000) of Nashville, Tennessee who was a well-known Lycoris breeder.
About Surprise Lily
Its clump of strappy 12" leaves will come and go with the daffodils, but in early fall a leafless stalk bursts from the bare earth with a cluster of amaryllis-like flowers on top. Needs spring sun. Can take light shade. Also known as magic lily, mystery lily, naked ladies, resurrection lily, sesame lily, and upstart.
