This is growing in my garden and I don't know where it came from
or what it is. There actually are two of them. They are just
blooming now, August in New England. The stalk grew up 24" tall
in two days, has no foliage at all. One has opened 2 blooms and
looks to have 3 more.

Thanks

One of the plants known as "nked Lady"?

Belladonna Lily, Naked Lady (Amaryllis belladonna)

Naked lady; see Colchicum autumnale

Seems like there is another one, but I forget what it is.

It may be a Lycoris squamigera. I'm sure CV will pop in and correct
those of us that are wrong.
