What's in a name? What do you call these fantasy like flowers that seem to spring from nowhere this time of year? They actually do have foliage but it comes up earlier and dies down so these beauties do seem to pop up magically. Hence, one of the names bestowed upon them--Magic Lilies. Also Fairy Lilies, Surprise Lilies, and my all time favorite--Naked Ladies. Aunt Lina had several clumps of them and naturally I had to have some. She told me that calling them "Naked Ladies" was not genteel but I could if I whispered it! So there you have it. You can choose your name for them. Whatever it is, I am always cheered by their luscious pinkness, their scent, and their ability to thrill me with their sudden appearance.
