My Wonder/ Resurrection Lily Update

Resurrection/Wonder/Surprise Lily

I promised to post pictures of the mysterious bulb that was blooming last week. Thank you for all that commented. I had forgotten that I did have foliage that suddenly disappeared a few weeks prior to the bulbs sprouting. I had a great response of it being a Wonder Lily, more specifically a Lycoris bulb, some call it Naked Lady, Resurrection Lily, or Surprise Lily. (thank you Judy).

Pretty thing isn't it? So glad I didn't pluck it from the ground.

Reality Jayne said...: A very brave Lily.....to just come out with bare stems and all....exposed to the world....It must be a really confident flower. She doesnt need all the foilage and green leaves...Just her.
I think its a sign from God...for sure.; July 27, 2011 at 5:46 PM
