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.

Ours have already come and gone... they were beautiful this year.

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. |

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

The naked lady on the left is one that was from a division last year, the one on the right hasn't been done in 7 years or so, and if I wanted to, is ready for division this fall. However, I can leave it there for years and it will be fine. It will divide and spread and get more stems like this one has
(we went through a lengthy period where the rainfall was minimal, that's why you see so many brown leaves. In my garden once the plants are established, they're on their own - no extra watering) |
Need a pic..............I don't know what they are...........calla

yup. Here's mine :) |
Rugosa, thanks for the info. Mine that need transplanting are under the overhang from the lowest level of the split ranch home where they receive almost no water whatsoever. I don't water mine much but those poor things need to be where they can get water at mother nature's whims. Yours are beautiful, especially the big clump. Thanks again for info and pictures.

Also called Resurrection Lilies. I have thousands of them. Last fall (after they bloomed), I transplanted hundreds of them and didn't make a dent. All the transplanted ones are blooming now.
They're called 'Naked Ladies' because when the bloom, there is no foliage whatsoever. The foliage is one of the first things to come up in the end of winter (usually late February), then it dies back and completely disappears. Suddenly, overnight in July/August, tall shoots literally shoot up and bloom; hence, Surprise Lilies. The bulbs are quite large, and if you hack then while transplanting, it doesn't harm them. |
So you have beautiful weeds now like with irises when they like a spot or spots?
