Surprise!

This week I’ve had fun walking out to the mailbox and checking out the surprise lilies (Lycoris squamigera) behind the cottage that are blooming.  If you haven’t run across these flowers before, they are really fun.  In the spring time, the leaves come up and slowly die back without any flowers.  Then in the summer or early fall, the flowers pop out without any leaves.  Surprise!

Jude went with me to check out the beauties, but after I started snapping pictures she ambled over to a shady spot and laid down:

Guess it was too hot in the full sun to try to stay near the flowers!  Anyone else have some of these lilies blooming?

Cheers!
