I had a strange experience with Eremerus. I have a bed that was planted sometime after 1920, and Lycoris radiata has always grown there. Last year, after 10 years in this house, Eremerus (blue) grew up in a line behind the Lycoris. It was obviously part of the original planting, and I didn't even know what they were! Does anyone have any idea why they might have reappeared after so many years? The only thing that struck me was that our drought had gotten so much worse in the preceding year, but I don't know why that would stimulate something that had been dormant to bloom again.
