The Magic of Spider Lilies
They came without warning and vanished just as fast! Recently, unexpected bursts of scarlet have appeared in forgotten corners of Bulloch County.
Spider lilies multiply quickly and love to surprise. Their botanical name is Lycoris radiata, but they are also called “Magic Lilies” because they appear with no announcement of their pending arrival.
- They pop up on tall, bare stems, without leaves.
- Their fiery red blossoms float above the ground and peep through grass or weeds like little bursts of fireworks.
Ask a friend for a few bulbs and plant a little tradition in your yard.
