Light cream Lycoris (L. albiflora) is in bloom now in the bluebell garden.
Red lycoris (L. radiata or Higan-bana, which means flower of other shore) is strongly associated with an image of grave in Japan because it usually bloom during Ohigan, a time when people travel to their ancestors's graves, it blooms without leaves and is blood red. It often grows in rice field, and sometimes near graveyards, and red lycoris is not popular in gardens. However, white, yellow and cream-coloured lycoris is much popular in gardens.

淡いクリーム色のリコリスがブルーベルの庭で今咲いています.
赤いリコリス（ヒガンバナ）はお墓参りをするお彼岸に咲き、花だけで葉がなく、
赤い血の色で、水田によく見られ墓地でも時々見ることから、
日本では墓地のイメージが強くてあまり庭には植えられません.
しかし白、黄色、クリーム色などのリコリスは
ガーデンでもよく育てられています.
