Surprise.........lilies



I mentioned in one of my blogs that the Surprise Lilies should be up pretty soon.  In an almost overnight time span they sprout and here they are.  I think they should actually open their blooms  in another day.

If you are not familiar with these lilies they sprout out their foliage in early spring and then it dies back completely.  A month later or so up comes the shoots for blooms.  They are called Naked Ladies is some circles and some seed catalogs.
