today's photo of Lycoris radiata left and L. albiflora right, plants have withstood well at temperatures of -6 C. the leaves do not have damage

Nice, Alessandro. Those are against a wall? Do they get full sun?

My daffodils are up already and very early for here. Last night we had an ice storm and the entire State of Tennessee is under a state of emergency for ice and flooding. I hope my daffodils didn't sustain a lot of damage. I can see at least 10 to 12 clumps that have emerged and some have nice buds as well. Too early.

Those look nice Alessandro. I saw the ice storm coverage on the news Tee. Did your area receive a lot of ice? I saw some spring bulbs at Walmart today. The only ones that had me interested were the gladiolus bulbs. I've seen a few in my area but I don't know how drought and heat tolerant they are. I hope your daffodils are alright

We have a covering of ice out there. Everything is frozen over but not enough to break tree limbs and pull down power lines.

Now glads are beautiful. I haven't grown them very much so I couldn't say for sure about their heat and drought tolerance. I do believe some of the glad species are very drought-tolerant though and would be good for your area. Are the bulbs at Walmart named varieties? (I love the green-flowering ones. )

A small enclosure wall, just in height, have turned to the South, but have an Araucaria in front, sorry for your bulbs, especially for those who have flower scape

We had some unexpected snow here, and even thundersnow, which was so weird. Thankfully all of it melted yesterday afternoon though there were a few icy spots. Ice storms are so scary, I'm glad you didn't experience any downed power lines or trees. I love glads but I found out they are marginally hardy here. Only two packages were named, I can't remember them but one was orange and yellow and the other was purple. Then they had the multicolor ones. I saw some glads that were a deep red, almost black. Those have been my favorite. I also saw some star gazer lilies, I would love to have those in my yard but I don't know if they would do well in full sun here. The local Walmart had a small selection, so I'm waiting until the Home Depot or Lowes have them in stock in February.
