Once again, the surprise lilies in my perennial garden lived up to their name. I could have sworn they weren't there on Wednesday, when I was weeding, but there they were on Thursday afternoon, in full, beautiful bloom. Because the stalk has no leaves, these lilies (Lycoris squamigera) are also known as "naked ladies."
In past years I've also had some sprouting in the pachysandra beds on the other side of the house, but they haven't shown up yet. Doubtless I'll do a double take when they do!
