All plant species belonging to the genus Lycoris, including L. radiata, are native to East Asia.[10] The plant was first introduced into the United States in 1854 following the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa, a peace treaty brokered between the United States of America and Japan which effectively opened up Japanese ports for trade with the U.S.[11] It is alleged that Captain William Roberts, a botany enthusiast and an alley of Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry of the U.S Navy, returned to the U.S with only three bulbs of the red spider lily from this travels abroad.[12] The bulbs were then planted by his niece who found that they did not bloom until after the first good rain in the fall season. L. radiata has since become naturalized in North Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma, and many other southern states of the US. Since the Japanese variety of L. radiata is a sterile triploid, the introduced plants were also sterile and could only reproduce via bulb division. Today, red spider lilies are appreciated as ornamental and medicinal plants in various countries all across Asia, Europe and in the United States.[10]

The Japanese common name for Lycoris radiata, higanbana (ヒガンバナ, 彼岸花),[16] literally means "flower of higan (Buddhist holiday around the autumnal equinox)."[16] Another popular Japanese name is manjushage (曼珠沙華)[16] (or manjushake[17]), taken from the name of a mythical flower described in Chinese translation of the Lotus Sutra. It is called by over 50 other local names in Japan.[17] Lycoris radiata first came to Japan from China around 700 A.D.[18] The flower has since become a cultural symbol, representing the arrival of fall. Red spider lilies are frequently seen in Japan growing along roadways and around the perimeters of rice fields and houses. The lilies are purposefully planted near rice fields in order to deter mice and other animals from invading the rice paddies; the poisonous bulbs are thought to keep the unwanted critters away.[5]
Unlike many hybrid bulbs, red spider lily bulbs do not decline over time, provided they are properly fed. You can maintain red spider lily bulbs for decades, though it is necessary to lift and split off the offsets periodically, as clumps become overgrown. If parent bulbs become soft or develop rot, they can be discarded in favor of continuing the lineage with the offset bulbs."}},"@type": "Question","name": "Will red spider lilies bloom twice in the same year?","acceptedAnswer": "@type": "Answer","text": "No. After its initial bloom, which lasts for about two weeks, this plant will not send up new flower stalks until the following year.

In the regions where it is hardy, the foliage on red spider lilies remains evergreen through the winter. Allow the leaves to remain in place, as this will help the bulbs restore themselves. The yellowed leaves can be removed in the spring, then the pot can be set aside in a sheltered, dry location until summer, when new growth will begin.
Kinchakuda: A place with 5 million red spider liliesThe Kinchakuda Red Spider Lily Park in Saitama's Hidaka city has over 5 million red spider lilies growing wild, making it the largest of its kind in Japan. Every year, from the middle of September to the beginning of October, many people come to see the blooming of the red spider lilies. During the peak season, the bottom of the grove is covered in a red carpet which creates a mysterious scene for visitors to enjoy. Kinchakuda is about 80 minutes from Ikebukuro Station. In Japanese Buddhism, there is a time of year called the equinoctial week where it is custom to visit a grave of one's ancestors. Since the red spider lilies bloom at the same time as the equinoctial period, some people associate this flower with Heaven. However, when people see this beautiful landscape, a tranquil and warm image comes to mind instead of a sad one.
Lily Fest is back to celebrate the peak bloom of the rare rocky shoals spider lilies! Landsford Canal State Park and the Katawba Valley Land Trust invite you to experience these breathtakingly beautiful flowers that only bloom for a very short, but predictable, window of time. Take a short walk (3/4 mile one way) down our historic Canal Trail to the viewing platform where you will behold a true wonder of nature. Growing between the rocks of the riverbed in front of you is the largest population of spider lilies in the world, so dense that they cover the Catawba River in a blanket of white flowers! Musical groups will be playing on the porch of the historical log house as well as other activities in the day use area. Drinks and snacks will be available for purchase or bring your own picnic lunch to enjoy along the banks of the Catawba River! Park Admission Fees apply. For more details about this event, please visit the website here.
The Demonic Illusion: Spider Lily Pacification Technique is a genjutsu in which the user conjures a sizable quantity of red spider lilies. The lilies sway gently in a soothing breeze, encouraging the victim to observe their beauty. If the victim looks at the spider lilies, they'll feel a compulsion to continue looking at them; a sudden feeling of calmness begins to take over.
This genjutsu pacifies the victim, draining their will to resist and diminishing their desire to fight or argue. It makes them more compliant to the user's demands and easier to persuade. Even if victims become aware that they are trapped in a genjutsu, they will be discouraged from breaking themselves free as a result of the overwhelming feeling of peace they are experiencing. The longer the victim continues to look at the spider lilies, the stronger the effects of the genjutsu will grow.
In autumn, rice harvesting begins. The color of the rice ears changes from green to golden brown, and brilliant red flowers, called higan-bana (spider lily in English), start to bloom around the rice fields.Why are spider lilies called higan-bana in Japanese (bana means flower)? It is because this plant is in full bloom with long, thin, and deep red petals at one time around the Autumnal Higan (Equinox) festival, a Buddhist festival in Japan.
I first learned of higan-bana when I was watching a Japanese TV drama. The drama had a scene in which the protagonist began to cross a bridge. The ground beneath his feet was enveloped in a white fog, and there was a red carpet of spider lilies on the other side of the bridge. When he began walking to cross the bridge, he heard someone calling his name. Just as he was beginning to look back, he awoke from his sleep. He recovered from his critical condition.In Japan, spider lilies are often used as a symbol for something connecting this world and the world after death. They are said to blossom between the world in which we live and the world of death.
I first personally saw spider lilies in full bloom in autumn after I moved to Saga Prefecture. In fact, spider lilies bloom with not only red petals but also yellow and white ones. Yellow and white flowers of spider lilies are slightly more uncommon but no less beautiful than red ones.
If you have an opportunity to visit Saga Prefecture in the period between late September and early October, please take photos of spider lilies in bloom around the rice fields. I am quite sure that you will be able to take beautiful autumnal photos. 2ff7e9595c
