Default Surprise Lilis - SurpriseLillyFlsmall.jpg (1/1)

I have no idea where these beauties are coming from... I know I never
plated them. :-)

For 3 years in a row, they came up in the driveway garden bed. Leaves in
the spring, leaves die down, then they just suddenly sprout and bloom.
Gorgeous things!

The ones in the driveway did not appear this year.
Instead, I got "surprised" by a pair in the central garden bed in the
front yard. Again, I know darned well I never planted them!

But, it is certainly a pleasant surprise when they do appear.

A member of the Amaryllis family iirc. I'd not mind getting more and
putting them in various places on purpose. They are so lovely and the
blooms last a good 5 days:

Nope, I take it back (from the Naked Ladies thread) that doesn't look like
a Resurrection Lily.

They looked like some variety of Crocus? Pretty things.
