Call these Naked Ladies, Surprise Lilies, Magic Lilies, or Resurrection Lilies. You will be shocked in August when these large trumpet blooms open for you. My original stock came from an old turn-of-the-century home in Northeast Louisiana. The home was being renovated, but the bulbs were thriving in the yard. These pink/lilac-colored blooms deserve a place in every garden in zones 5b-8a.

Scott Ogden in his book Garden Bulbs for the South says of the Lycoris squamigera "Naked Lady" that one "rarely finds a more beautiful flower possessed of such an undemanding disposition. It's nearly ideal for gardens in the middle and upper South, and even into the cold climates of the Midwest."

How they bloom: Lycoris squamigera "Naked Lady" bulbs bloom differently than most flowers. Now is a perfect time to plant these bulbs. These bulbs need 2-3 years after they are planted before presenting blooms. Your bulbs are developing a strong root system right now to support future foliage and eventually blooms. You might see the foliage this February-April, but don't be concerned if you don't. Most people still expect to see something growing during the summer months. You won't see anything. These bulbs are dormant in the summer. After 2-3 years, the flowers suddenly appear with the first later summer and early fall rains. One day there is nothing growing and then suddenly you have a surprise, a fully blooming flower! This bulb acts very similarly to red spider lilies, yellow spider lilies, and schoolhouse lilies. Simply put, they bloom in the fall and then have foliage for the winter.

Foliage: Let's talk foliage for a moment. The "Naked Lady" foliage is flat, wide and stout. It will shoot up like a fountain. The foliage will look great by itself in the spring or with mixed in with spring blooms. We know that we all want to see the beautiful unusual blooms in the late summer, but the foliage is very important. The foliage is what allows the bulb to grow and multiply. Many people get very concerned if they don't see the bloom the first year that they plant it and believe that maybe the bulb isn't any good. A good rule for perennial bulbs....if the bulb is firm when you plant it, it is healthy and will eventually come up. The foliage is what you watch for since the bulbs aren't going to bloom for 2-3 years. The foliage will grow during the winter months so be sure to plant the bulbs where they will receive at least 6+ hours of winter sun. Even if the foliage gets hit by a winter cold snap, it will have taken in nutrients for months! Always allow the foliage to die down naturally and don't cut it off. If you cut it, you are killing the bulb. Once the foliage is completely dead which is usually around the beginning of May, this area can be mowed. The foliage is untidy when dying back so consider planting it in a "natural" area or plant with other bulbs that will produce lovely foliage to help cover it up. Remember, it takes a lot of energy for the bulb to push that bloom up out of the ground and open wide. The more time the bulbs can take in nutrients, the more energy they will have for that fall bloom.

Just a thought...if it looks like you are going to have a cold snap and want to protect your foliage, you might consider covering it with a bucket and then removing the bucket once the daytime temperatures warm up.

Blooms: You will need patience with this bloom, but it is worth the wait. They are prone to skip their first 2-3 years, but the show it produces in late summer is spectacular. Each bulb sends up a stem that holds several blooms. The flowers are pale pink to almost lilac. The light color and slightly reflexed petals give the blooms a romantic but traditional look. However, once established in your garden they are there for a lifetime! They usually bloom in late July - early August. These blooms need water to bloom. They respond to the late summer rains well, but if there is a hard drought, be sure to begin watering the area around the beginning of July to help the bulbs have enough energy to bloom. A naked stalk will rise quickly and a few days later lilac/light pink blooms will appear.

Sun Requirements: The single most important thing about landscaping with Lycoris is the sun. They need at least 6+hours of WINTER sun. That means about 6-8 hours of sunlight during the winter months - they do great with full winter sun. If you look at the photo above, you will see that they are in the shade of the trees. You can be sure that most, if not all, of those trees, will lose their leaves in the winter when the greenery needs sunlight. Lycoris put on their foliage during the winter (February - April) and that is when it takes in the nutrients it needs to produce the blooms in September. The winter foliage soaks up sun energy during winter as it prepares for summer dormancy. The foliage normally completely dies down around May.

Plant: Don't plant the bulb too deep. You are going to plant the bulb even with the top of the soil. You can plant the bulbs close together (2-4 inches apart) to make the blooms look more natural or spread the bulbs out and allow 6-8 inches in between each bulb. The area will look sparse the first couple of years that the blooms come up, but the bulbs will multiply and fill in several years after that.

Lycoris bulbs really do well in any type of soil except full clay. They thrive in soil that has plenty of organic material mixed in but they do not require fertilizer. Newly planted bulbs would actually be harmed by exposure to fertilizer, so if you are going to apply nutrients, limit the application to established plants when the plants are producing their green leafy foliage during the winter. After planting the bulbs, water the soil thoroughly. Damp soil is ok, as long as the bulbs are in a spot where they will receive plenty of winter sun and the foliage is allowed to die down naturally in the spring. Standing water is not good. Once the summer season starts these bulbs will do best in soil that dries out a bit, as this facilitates its entry into the dormant stage when the leaves die back. This period is followed by its blooming season when it will reward daily watering with long-lasting blooms. Too much moisture in the soil will lead to the bulbs rotting.

Bulbs to use with Lycoris: There are an assortment of perennial flower bulbs that go well with Lycoris blooms. When the bloom appears in late July or August, it will look great with rain lilies. The foliage makes a great backdrop for spring bloomers like Narcissus Jonquils, campernelles, twin sisters, and snowflakes.

True to the game and high on philosophy, but no it's not the Fanfic lover's playground....
Format: Paperback
I read several reviews of this book and was wary initially of buying (to the point where I read parts of it in a bookstore before buying it here). Finally finished it and 500 odd pages later, this is not just a pithy sewing together of cutaway scenes and story clips. Is it classic literature? No, but it wasn't meant to be. It's sometimes hard to translate action in to book form, especially when done in the luscious hi-def glory that Ubisoft was able to achieve. But what it lacks in geographical description, it makes up in explaining and demonstrating the philosophy of the story of the game itself. You understand what makes an Assassin different from a Templar, you understand what made Ezio tick, what made Altair tick and while it is subtle, it is genuine characterization and if you don't get the memo, then you just aren't trying. While some complained because Sophia wasn't painted with more detail or that the relationship between some of the characters could have been explored better (like the political tension in the royal family for example), I'd still argue it wasn't necessary. This is not Suleiman's story or Yusuf's story, nor was it a love story though there is one; it's Ezio's and Atair's stories and the simplicity of their thoughts and actions were well drawn. It wasn't meant to fill in the gaps, fanfic is much more satisfactory in those cases. The only drawback of this book is that sometimes it borders on being preachy, but I don't think the makers of this game were exactly subtle about whose corner they wanted you to be in. True to the game, absolutely direct about it's philosophy, and it doesn't try to masquerade as anything more than it should be for 10 dollars.

Love love love Ezio Auditore!!!
Format: Kindle
I am a huge gamer and having played Assassins Creed many times, it was nice to see “inside” what we are RPGing. This book was a lot of fun to read and very insightful. “With you until the end, Ezio!”

Good not excellent
This book started off with lots of promise. It got my interest straight away and kept it there for a few chapters. It includes some intesting history facts of the age and enlists some of the characters of the age as well all of which I found very intersting and unique. However the general theme did not change. The Protaganist got better and better at killing and never really got into trouble. He goes from one adventure to another of similar sort with the same outcome. He kills everyone and gets away without problems. I had trouble finding the climax and wondered at many points if it was just a story that went on and on without an end. Overall a good light read if you don't expect much surprise or complex intrigue.
