I have some that my neighbor gave me.He told me they were 'Bare-Naked Ladies!' They did not bloom this year, too dry!!

You did not hear wrong - this last pic shows it well --- they don't have leaves now, so it's like they're "naked" - only the flower. We have a few, but I've never bothered to smell them - I'll have to go see how they smell!

We called them "Mystery Lilies" because it was always a mystery as to where they were planted in the lawn. I have heard them called "Bella Donna Lilies" but am not sure the other gal was talking about the same thing as I was. I had lost hope of mine blooming until the rains came as it had been so dry here in Kansas.

You just brought back a lovely memory of a large drive around our home in Ca where the pink Naked Ladies grew in profusion. They are unforgetable.

When we bought our house 30 years ago, there was 1 already here, I've been dividing it over the years, and just yesterday counted 18 different spots where they deciding to come up!
We always called them 'Magic Lillies"

They're called pop-up lilies in Middle Tennessee.

This is the first summer I've actually seen blossoms. I planted them about 10 yrs ago but my grey pyr. kept laying on the spot after the leaves came out. Our pyr died a few years back...needless to say the flowers finally came up.

Inquiring minds want to know: When do you divide or tranplant them? I have several bunches that never bloom because of lack of water where they are and I'd like to transplant them to a better spot. Thanks in advance. ~ Chris

I marked where they were, and then in the fall I dug them up, after the flowers died. When you do, you'll see if it's time to divide them
