Deeply Rooted
The 'bare naked ladies' that I know is Amaryllis belladonna... light pink amaryllis-y flowers (smaller and less flared than indoor amaryllis, but still quite pretty imo), flowers in late summer after the foliage has been dead and gone for some time, hence the name. Looks a bit weird unless enough other plants around it to clothe its naked, or perhaps I should say absent, lower regions. It grew well in the clayey neglected yard of an apartment I had in NC (I didn't plant it, just admired it and mowed around it) so I think it is one of those plants that doesn't need much 'gardening' once it is in - just need to mark the location since it is not always up. It's not native although it might be naturalized some places.
Buff Hooligans (sorry, I have trouble adjusting to all new names for people ) you should be able to grow it where you are. I actually keep thinking about trying it - we are theoretically way too cold but I have some usda zone 6 things overwintering fine so far right by the house, in sandy suntrap-warmed soil that catches big drifts each winter, and I *think* it might be ok there, at least for some years. Maybe some year I will actually try it.
Now watch, it will turn out that sgtsheart is talking about some completely different plant
