The *Naked Ladies* are back!

[Carol Dee]

It is always a surprise when I look out at my flower gardens and see them blooming. Seems once the foliage dies back I forget where they are. I think earlier this summer there was a discussion on other names for this Lily. @Smart Red are yours blooming yet?

 

[Smart Red]

Yes. That is, one naked lady is flowering. The others are still sleeping with nary a sign of where they'll be popping up. Those stems really do seem to pop up overnight, don't they?

Pretty, but how did they get the name naked ladies?

Well Bay', you know what they say down at the Corner Club:

A lady in clothes is like

a man in the kitchen ...

Probably because there is no foliage. That all comes up in the spring them dies back. Now the stems pop up (almost overnight ) and bloom. the are also known as Resurection lily & surprise lily.

I always called them Surprise lilies, or Nerine lilies. But Steve's comment makes me wonder what corner he has been hanging around...?

The corner of the kitchen counter.

You know, I used to spend a lot more time in the kitchen but then, DW took the cushions off the kitchen chairs.

Very nice flowers and outdoor photography !

We have a pink lily that is similar we call it a rain lily. But I don't have any.
