A few growers, often represented on eBay, are offering quite a variety of Lycoris. (about 20 sp and cv on offer now: pink, white, "blue", yellow, orange, and red).
In my garden the easy, Lycoris squamigera, has proven semi-recalcitrant; but it will grow well for others, here in Massachusetts, (NE) USA.
I wonder how others are doing with a wider spectrum of these plants? They can be divided between fall and spring foliage varieties, and generally the fall foliage ones likely do not tolerate the cold north.

Lori,

Lycoris are "Wow" plants because they can pop up and flower in the space of a day or two - if you haven't been checking each day they can really surprise you.
A few weeks after that original flower-spike, a few more popped up after another rainstorm,
