The Lycoris sanguinea is often called the "Orange Spider Lily." The blooms are a bright orange that bloom in late summer to fill your garden with color when most blooms in your garden are dying. They really work best in zones 5b-7a because they need a good winter freeze to help them prepare for the next growing season.

How they bloom: Lycoris sanguinea "Orange Spider Lily" bulbs bloom differently than most flowers. Now is a perfect time to plant these bulbs. These bulbs need 1-2 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 should see the foliage this February - May, 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 1-2 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, have foliage for the winter, and are dormant during the summer.

Foliage: Let's talk foliage for a moment. The "Orange Spider Lily's" strap-shaped long foliage will look great by itself in the spring or 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 1-2 years. The foliage will grow during the spring months, February - May, 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 middle of May, this area can be mowed. 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: When talking about late-summer color, these orange blooms catch your eye. In late summer, each bulb sends up a 12-16 inch stem that holds several blooms. Each naked stem pops up out of the ground almost overnight. The orange petals are slightly reflexed displaying the yellow stamens within. The blooms will appear late August or early September on a naked stalk like the other Lycoris. It may take 1-2 years before the blooms appear, but the show it produces in late summer is unparrelled. Once established in your garden they are there for a lifetime! 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 the landscape will burst with bright blooms.

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. Because they are dormant during the summer, the amount of summer sun doesn't usually matter; however, Lycoris sanguinea will keep some of their color better if they get some afternoon shade during their blooming time in August/September.

The Lycoris all have the same requirements of the sun. If you look at the photo above of the Lycoris squamigera "Naked Lady" blooms, 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 - May) 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 will plant the bulbs 2-3 times deep the height of the bulb (so if your bulb is 1" tall, then you will plant it 2-3 inches deep). Because they bloom on a naked stalk, they look better when planted in groups. 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 August or early September, it will look great with rain lilies and other spider lilies. The foliage makes a great backdrop for spring bloomers like Narcissus Jonquils, campernelles, twin sisters, and snowflakes.

FUN FACTS:

POLINATORS: Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds are attracted to the orange spider lily.

"Sanguinea" is a Latin word that means "blood-red" or "bloody" in English. It's often used to describe something that is a deep red color, reminiscent of the color of blood. This term is commonly used in various scientific fields to describe organisms, such as plants or animals, that have a reddish hue.

How to pronounce sanguinea...

  • "san" sounds like "san" in "sand."
  • "gwin" sounds like "gwin" in "gwinnett."
  • "ee" sounds like the letter "e" in "see."
  • "uh" sounds like "uh" in "duh."

So, when you put it all together, it's "san-gwin-ee-uh." The emphasis is on the second syllable, "gwin."

Worth the money
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I'm inexperienced with matcha... Just wanted to order some good matcha, only to discover all of these obscure classifications and prices varrying wildly. Before this brand, I ordered ceremonial and also "culinary cafe" from the jade brand. Couldn't really taste a significant difference, so I didn't sweat purchasing this. There is a difference with this: the higher quality matchas did foam more when mixing and had slightly thicker consistency, and tasted a bit less grassy. This brand actually tastes fantastic, if you don't mind a very subtle grassy but sweet flavor. The savory sweet flavor dominates in a good way; grassy is very much still nothing more than an afterthought. But - and a very significant but - it hardly foams after mixing. So, the viscosity of the liquid when mixed, although enjoyable, leaves something to be desired. That said, like a good salesman the seller points out that this mathca is unusual because of its concentration on being organic, even at the expense of whatever desirable flavor profile could be contributed by pesticides, lead, radiation etc. Perhaps this is an exaggeration... Nevertheless I take comfort in their emphasis on safety anyway. It's definitely more affordable, being around $1 an ounce. Thanks for keeping other matcha brands honest... So I recommend the value absolutely. But it you want the best of the best, I just don't know enough to give you a good answer.

Micro Ingredients Organic Matcha makes a good anytime tea.
Size: 32 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Micro Ingredients Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder delivers exactly what it promises: a clean, earthy, first-harvest matcha that balances approachability with authenticity. It’s a versatile and surprisingly smooth everyday matcha. The flavor leans toward earthy, grassy, and mildly nutty, with a gentle bitterness that feels natural rather than harsh.

Great. Just as good as fancy stuff But dose not pair with peppermint.
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
If you're making Macha lattes or mixing the match with anything, this is perfect! No need to buy the expensive ceremonial level stuff unless you're drinking ONLY Macha. This is honestly perfect for everything. Mix 2 of its provided spoonfuls with 1/2 cup of kettle hot water and stir, maybe even add more matcha until a bit thick, pour over a glass full of ice (should fill half the glass if full of ice) as the last half as milk with a pump of your favorite syrup. Mine is strawberry, my gf's is Vanilla. Peppermint was not good, though fyi.

Makes It Green; Doesn't Taste as Clean
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
It is matcha. It makes things green. For all intents and purposes, this is enough for the typical matcha user. For those with a bit of an upturned nose to anything that's "inferior" to matcha, then this is not for you. By taste, this product is not as good on the tastebuds as, say, Jade Leaf. It doesn't do matcha justice and, in my opinion, does not mix that well when making lattes. In terms of color, this one is also paling in comparison when by itself, but when added to other things as a flavoring agent or colorant, then it does the job as well as it can. I am not saying this matcha is bad at all. I think if it comes down to drinking, save your money and get some Jade Leaf or equivalent ceremonial grade matcha. You WILL taste the difference. Now if you're going to be making a lot of baked goods or cooked goods? This wouldn't be that bad—you don't want an overbearing matcha taste anyway and the shade of green this produces is not THAT bad.

Contemporary translation of a set of Christian classics
Format: Hardcover
How did the New Testament come to be formed? What books were left out? What did some of those books say? These are some of the questions on the minds of many curious people today. Too often, local congregations ignore these questions, to the detriment of the church. But these questions about Christian origins are very, very real in the hearts and minds of many people today. Now, from one of the most significant writers about Christian origins today comes a completely new edition of the Apostolic Fathers -- the letters of Clement, the letters of Ignatius, the letter of Polycarp, the Martyrdom of Polycarp, the Didache, the Epistle of Barnabas, the fragments of Papias and Quadratus, the Epistle to Diognetus, and the Shepherd of Hermas. These were early Christian writings that are generally attributed to church leaders of the late first and early second centuries CE (and, in most cases, are probably authentic). Clement, for example, was an early leader in Rome (circa 96 CE); Ignatius wrote a number of letters to churches in various cities (circa 110 CE), sort of following in the footsteps of Paul. This two-volume set replaces the classic edition of the Apostolic Fathers in the Loeb Classical Library edited by Kirsopp Lake nearly a century ago. As with all books in the Loeb Classical Library, the original (in this case, Greek) text is presented on the left-hand pages, and an English translation is presented on the right. The text is extremely readable, and the introductions to each of the books are clear, succinct, and to the point. Some of these books almost made it into the New Testament! The epistles of Clement are found in some early New Testament manuscripts and were widely read in the early churches. The Shepherd of Hermas may have been the most widely read book by early Christians. Several of these books were probably written before some of books in the New Testament. In an age in which people are asking questions about the origins of Christianity and the authority of the scriptures, it is crucial that we have at least a basic understanding of our early history. In my mind, a decent familiarity with the Apostolic Fathers -- as well as the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi library -- is essential. This two-volume set is extremely valuable. Ehrman's critical textual work, his contemporary translations, and his up-to-date introductions are a welcome addition to current literature. The trained scholar will delight in having a new critical edition of the Greek text . . . but an ordinary lay reader could also profit tremendously from reading some of these early Christian writings that were not deemed to be sufficiently close to the first generation of apostles to make the cut into the New Testament.
