LYCORIS: A highlight of the late summer garden

It's a great summer for the lovely pink Lycoris flowers here. One of their nicknames is "surprise lily" because their two-foot-high flower stalks, with no visible leaves, seem to just show up in early August. Not only are they spreading in clumps here, but they're also sprouting in places in my garden far removed from where I've seen them before -- like, on the opposite side of the house! I wonder if perhaps squirrels have been moving the bulbs around?
