Description
The Resurrection Lily is known by several names and isn’t a true lily. It is an Amaryllis, Lycoris squamigera, to be exact. It is also known as Magic lily, Naked Ladies, Surprise lily or sometimes the Belladonna lily. The Resurrection lily is a late summer bloomer. Narrow, foot long, grayish-green leaves emerge in spring and then die back in early summer, appearing to die. Don’t despair. The plant isn’t anywhere dead. The show is about to begin and the reason for the name “Resurrection” or “Magic” will soon be revealed. Seemingly rising from the dead, thick naked flower scapes spring up where the leaves died back, reaching a height of two-plus feet, bearing between four and seven fragrant, funnel-shaped rosy pink flowers with a touch of lavender lining the petal edges and tips.
