Magic Lilies

Every summer, usually in August, naked almost three-foot stems pop out of the ground and put on a show.




The long strap-like leaves of a few months ago have long been forgotten after they withered and died.




Yesterday it was show time again.



These magical flowers are also known as surprise, naked lady or resurrection lilies. The latter is an especially apt name.
