Too Hot for Foliage

Naked Ladies in my garden: scandalous!


Tall, curvy, pink popping up on bare stalks... ohh la la.

Lycoris squamigera aka Surprise Lily, Magic Lily, Naked Lady, Resurrection Lily

Truth is, they are not lilies at all and are in the Amaryllis family.

THIS is why I don't leave Washington, DC in the summer swelter, would hate to miss these gorgeous blooms.
