Lycoris radiata

Family: Amaryllidaceae, Genus: Lycoris

Description:

Lycoris radiata, often called the Red Spider Lily, is a bulbous perennial native to East Asia, including China and Japan. It is known for its vibrant red, spidery flowers that bloom in late summer or early autumn, often after heavy rainfall. The plant's foliage emerges after flowering and remains green throughout winter. This deer-resistant plant is suitable for rock gardens and is naturalized in parts of the southern United States. The bulbs contain toxic alkaloids but also have medicinal properties, including potential uses in Alzheimer's treatment.
