We had these beautiful lilies on the farm where I grew up. We always called them naked ladies, but I’m sure there’s a more formal name. The are all over town this summer–I snapped this photo with my phone as I was walking by our neighbor’s house yesterday. The shot doesn’t do them justice. I love the leafless, stark stems and the shimmery violet in the pink petals.
I’d like to plant these this fall. Does anyone know what they’re called? I’d google it, but something makes me think searching for “naked ladies” isn’t going to be very helpful.
