Matt came across these funky little blooms this week while out mowing the lawn. Being the sweet man he is he came in and requested I retrieve a vase so that he could cut them for a fresh bouquet for the dining room table. I have no idea what they are. Any ideas??? They still look fabulous days after being brought in. Today while we were out walking the pooch I noticed a few other homes who had some sprouts of these in the yard. I think we have some more coming up in the backyard by the tree, perhaps I'll snag those for inside as well.

Around here, those are called "Naked Ladies" or "Surprise lillies." Here's the wiki article on 'em: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycoris_squamigera
