Lycoris x caldwellii 'Eye Scream' is a 2021 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction of a newly released Phil Adams cross of Lycoris longituba and Lycoris chinensis. This spring-foliaged hybrid emerges for us the last week of August (NC) with 30" tall spikes, topped by flowers with ruffled petals that open yellow, morphing quickly to white with a yellow center, and finally aging to almost pure white. It will take several years to rebuild stock, so we don't expect these to stick around.
