Lycoris incarnata Viewing Fish at Jade Fountain Oreocharis If winter temperatures drop belowLycoris 'Viewing Fish at Jade Fountain' is a fascinating Dr. Lin hybrid from China, most likely a cross of Lycoris sprengeri and Lycoris longituba.

After flowering, the plant disappears until the foliage emerges in late winter early spring.
