Description

A Resurrection Lily blooming in my yard; photographed from the side to show the colorful beauty of the bloom.

The Resurrection Lily is a member of the Amaryllis family, Amaryllidaceae, and has the botanical name Lycoris squamigera. The Resurrection lily goes by a couple of other meaningful names as well; Surprise lily, Magic lily, and Naked Lady lily. In some areas they grow wild, and in many places will be found growing near abandoned houses, or on long abandoned properties. It is a somewhat late flowering bulb, featuring clusters of blooms which are 2 to 3 inches across, pink to magenta in color, with golden throats and russet anthers. This is a very showy plant, and often brings the last vestige of bright color to a garden as the growing season ends.

The blooming habits of the plant gives rise to the names by which it is called. Typically, new foliage will sprout in late spring or early summer, just as is the case with many other late flowering bulbs. The foliage, which can become rather lush, will eventually die back, without any sign of a bloom. Weeks, and even months, may pass, long enough for the "disappointing" plant to have been forgotten. Then, seemingly overnight, a thin stalk emerges from the ground, and within a few days it is covered with lovely, lily-shaped blossoms. Surprise!
