Photo Description A neighbor gave me the bulbs for this lily. An ag agent told me its scientific name. And a TF member told me its common name. That name is Plantation Lily. While there is another lily with similar flowers that has the name 'Resurrection Lily', I think this one could well bear that name, too. During this past winter we had some unusually cold weather. It really hurt a lot of my plants. I expected most to recover, and they did. I had no hopes for this lily. As you can see here, it looks as if the bulbs had frozen and turned to mush. Nature never ceases to amaze me.

Gorgeous! I wonder if they would do well in NY
Well, mine did survive and multiply after enduring 3 degree temperatures. And that was without any Winter mulch.
Judy,
Here is an article that claims some types are hardy to NYC

Boy - these lilies really get around! I have several different varieties that sprang up after planting only two bulbs (2 years ago) that I thought were identical.
I believe it is like yours?
I think these are what we call in Kansas, Surprise Lilies or Naked Ladies. The plant puts out leaves in the Spring.
What you're talking about is a different lily. It's name is 'Lycoris'.
