I took these the other morning. These are Resurrection lilies or Surprise Lilies (Lycoris squamigera, if you want to get technical). They come up every year towards the end of summer but not since living here have they ever came up twinged with blue on the tips of their petals so I am completely in awe. I wonder if it is something like with hydrangeas and has to do with the soil pH 🤔 anyways... so so pretty! . . . . . #flowers #flowerstagram #resurrectionlily #surpriselily #lycorissquamigera #nature #plants #indiana #midwest #summer #lily https://www.instagram.com/p/CD3mycdA_Go/?igshid=eivnh89xafjb

And … just like that … one morning here they are again !   

So fun to see the flowers of the Surprise Lily magically erupt one mid summer’s day, usually after a good soaking rain or two.   Almost as quickly as they come, they retreat back into the ground.  Their lush gorgeous foliage comes in spring and goes again like most bulbs. In mid to late summer they send up their tall stems laden with fragrant lily blossoms..

SOCIAL DISTANCING DAY 139. Every house we moved to over the years already had surprise lilies like these—which you probably know put some leaves up in the early spring which die away, then about now they send smooth stalks with no foliage up about 3 feet or so and—surprise! Our neighbor at our first house in Broad Ripple, Dolly, in her 60s (she seemed old) called them “naked ladies.” So now we do, too. #surpriselily #surpriselilies #surprise! #nakedladies #backyardalmanac #quarantinelife (at Noblesville, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDaUnk0AoHh/?igshid=1evi25phuinxy
