Nerine or lycoris

[Muhammad Arif Khan]

Bulb bought last year, planted in spring has bloomed now . Is it a nerine or a Lycoris?



only four buds and not opening at the same time.

sir it is Golden Magic Lily - Lycoris Aurea...because nerine is not available in yellow color..

[Muhammad Arif Khan]

Thank you was sold to me as Nerine

[Muhammad Arif Khan]

What is the difference between the two?

[aykhan]

A yellow Nerine would be like a true blue rose. There is no such thing yet. It is Lycoris and it is extremely beautiful.

[Hamad Ahmed Kisana]

sir they are very similar bulbs from same family only main difference is yellow color which is present in lycoris. here are few minor differences between two..
Nerine has slightly wavy, reflexed or back-curved petals, with stamens that are longer than the petals. Lycoris has wider petals that appear trumpet-like, but not reflexed.Plus, Nerine‘s flower looks more bell-shaped than the horizontal “parasol” of Lycoris. Lycoris leaves are always absent at flowering time. Nerine leaves, may be “present or absent” when the plant flowers.

Here is the today's picture.



Hamad, Where does it fit, it has all the characteristics of Nerine except the colour.
I am still confused.
