We've lived in this house for less than a year so we were delighted to find hardy amaryllis planted here. My 13 year old granddaughter was visiting when my hubby came in and asked me "Did you see all the naked ladies out front?" She about went into shock! WHAATTT???!!! LOL

My FIL use to grow them all the time, I think the name fasinated him more than the flower.

We call them "spider lilies". they do resemble a spider. Maybe we are talking about 2 different things.

We called them Surprise Lily were I lived in MO. IA is always a week or two behind MO in growing. Mine have been blooming for several days. I've never cut mine, didn't realize they smelled so good. I'll have to cut some.

How funny, I was born in Danville, Indiana! Guess mom taught me what she was raised calling them.

I think if you were to buy these from a bulb catalog, you will find they are "Hardy Amaryllis". They have been in bloom here in VA for about 1 week. Beautiful lilies and make wonderful cut flowers for bouquets.
