I've got Naked Ladies

The bulbs, Nerine bowdenii.  Some folks call them August Lilies.

While picking up sticks from the yard this morning, I saw that the lilies were full of buds in one bed, I didn't see any in the other beds.

What a nice surprise.  I think that this year the lilies are blooming earlier than past years.  We have had some showers with a few T-storms, but could really use a lot more rain.

I almost forgot, the deer will not eat them.  Yeaaaaaaaaaa!


Peace

I had those growing at our house when we lived in Dallas except I knew them as being called Amaryllis.

Are these two different plants called Naked Lady?

Yes Anne they look the same to me.  Each stalk has five or six buds and seems to grow and spread out from a central grouping. Mine are a little darker in color than the ones shown.  These are a bulb and each year they will flower, some years are better than others.  They grow kinda tall in the spring, just a green leaf/stalk type,looking something like daffodil, then die down until late July,

I listed the Latin name in my post, which I try to do with plant names, as the same plant is known by different names in other regions.

If you would like a few bulbs to try in the hill country, just let me know.

Wikipedia says that Nerine bowdenii is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae.

If they are not the same they must at least be in the same family.

Here it's called Naked Lady too. Lycoris squamigera has other common names such as Resurrection flower, Resurrection Lily, Surprise Lily. I like Surprise Lily better because the flower stalks seem to be suddenly popping up out of nowhere.
