Please help with ID for Heirloom Bulb

howdy guys,
i dug up some bulbs from a house my great grandmother used to live in. the place has been abandoned for over 20 years, but there were some ditch lilies, st joseph liles, daffs and these guys there for the taking. these bulbs were growing very well in nice sized clumps. i know it can be hard to identify bulbs from the foliage, but i hope you guys might recognize it. i thought they might be fall spider lilies, but i am not so sure. spider lily foliage looks a lot like liriope, dark green and kinda thin. to me this looks different. thanks

here is a shot of the bulb

looks like a Lycoris radiata to me--if it starts going down in the next couple of months, you'll know for sure. Its not Lycoris aurea (leaves are wider and flatter) but it could be L radiata or traubii--most likely L radiata.

By the way your Narcissus 'Pink Charm' was really nice--great photo on that one!

why, thank you! the cat kept getting in the shot, so i had to take it a few times. they are real hams!

could also be Lycoris albiflora--they have thin foliage too. No way to tell, until fall.

Cats are such Hams!
