Last year i purchased these bulbs from Channan Din Lahore, they told me it is Daffodils and Narcissus, it didn't bloom last year same happened this year for the last 4 month they have the green foilage as shown in picture, my question is it Daffodils or something else because i have paper white narcissus having entirely different foilage. Why is it not blooming ?

They are 100% same as of Daffodils/Narcissus. I am thinking this might be a different variety of the same. But still it is a mystery.

Good, that's why it is not blooming, so what month it will bloom , fall summer ? Did your Lycoris bloomed last year ?

This is problem with Channa DIn , before i asked him for day lillies he gave me star lillies, i asked for fertileria he gave me Lilliums now this is another blunder. NO prob, atleast i have an addtional variety. :)

So in summary i have Lycoris, Belladona and Narine :D i am a happy man.

Yes I had a beautiful display of Lycoris last year.They bloom around late Sept, early Oct. Flowers are very soon followed by fresh rich dark green leaves. It is always a pleasure witnessing the various growing stages of this bulb. Lycoris is one of my all time fav flowering bulb. =)

BEST OF LUCK ! ;) ,
P.S do upload pic when they bloom this autumn, Insh Allah
