Belladonna Lily - Amaryllis

These flowers had us stumped for a couple of years after we moved to our current home. Smooth, long, slender leaves came up each spring, then died off. We thought nothing ever happened with them. It took us 2 years to realize that this beautiful stalk of flowers showed up mid-late summer wherever those leaves had been in the spring! It is hard to do it justice - the stalks are a good 2 feet tall with a head of 4 or more light pink blooms. Here are a couple of "artistic" takes on it.
