I set out to photograph the surprise lilies that have popped up in the last week, but alas, they were past their prime. So I scooted a foot to the left and focused on these small yellow flowers instead.Surprise lilies earned their name because they pop up on tall, thin stems, and bloom in pink bunches. What I find really funny is the alternate name they've been given -- Naked Ladies.
Until this last week, I had never heard that name, and I know my eyebrows shot up in surprise when I heard it. I see how the name fits, but for now, I'll just continue to call them Surprise Lilies.
These yellow flowers? I have no idea what they are. And I don't know any funny nicknames.
So we'll just have to appreciate them for being yellow and blooming.
