I found two of these stalks today while out walking. I know I didn't plant them, but they are so beautiful!

And yes in reference to one answer, they had no leaves just 5 or 6 blooms attached to a brown stalk.

Answer 1

They are wild lilies, so pretty, it is so hard to find the bulb to transplant they are awsome. Grandpa used to call the naked ladies, because of no leaves.

Answer 2

Sota looks like lillies to me. However, the lack of leaves poses a question. Did they ever have leaves or did something eat them or did they fall off? If they are lillies they will bulbs underground, sometimes some immature bulbs showing just at groud level. When they stop blooming dig one uo, if you get a clump of small bulbs it may be a lily. You could transblant to somewhere you like. Alsi, if there are several bulbs you can split some off and start a new plant. I suggest if you really want to know what it is, take the picture to a horticulterist. Good luck. They sure are pretty flowers.

Answer 3

The flower is an amaryllis belladonna, more commonly known as belladonna lily, March lily, or naked lady. It's a member of the amaryllidaceae family. The belladonna lily's specific flowering time is late summer, February, and March. Amaryllis belladonna in its natural habitat is found in small dense groups among rocks. Therefore the best place to plant them would be in a rock garden.

Answer 4

That 's a lovely " Magic Lily " so called , because they suddenly , " Magically " appear , with little or no foliage. The foliage comes up early in the year , then dies back to the ground. later a large stalk appears , on which these beautiful flowers appear ..
You are lucky to have such nice blooms.... Be sure to fertilize it, after the blooms are gone......

Answer 5

That is definately an amaryllis. It's not a magic lilly or any of that other nonsense. Amaryllis (or the ones I've been around) are usually deeper shades, like red. However, feel fortunate to have such a beautiful non-common shade.

Answer 6

Nice photo. Looks like naked lady, a kind of amaryllis I think. Are they pink? Strappy leaves die back in late spring and flower stalks grow out of a clump of bulbs without foliage.

Answer 7

My Aunt calls them Ghost Lilies-I assume it is because of the color. It is a species of Amyrillis. Take your picture to a nursery, they can give you the exact name. The leaves come up about the same time as Daffodills. The leaves look a bit like Daffodill leaves. Then they die out. About now is when the flower stack appears. I gotta go look for mine.

Answer 8

It looks more like a spider to me?

I have some yellow flowers like that I planted earlyer in the year and the tag is still on them. But I am too lazy to get a flash light and go get the tag. Mine are something like a Mandvilla or something. But then again a flower is a flower to me. .but I do know that is a spider on it.

Answer 9

I think it's an amaryllis. I cant see the stalk but I have one, too, and it just finished blooming. It grows from a bulb. Check this site:
