The Earth is Alive!
I have probably posted something about the resurrection lilies, or naked ladies, every year for the past several years. But as they are springing from the earth, it occurs to me I have never shown you the foliage. This is how it all starts in March. The foliage will grow to a height of about forty centimeters, then it will all die back and disappear into the earth.
As July comes to an end we will be revisited again.

Interesting. From previous pictures I assumed they had no foliage.
These are really beautiful flowers. You are the only ones I know who grow them.
I miss having a yard with green things growing in it...Of course ours was kind of wild since neither my husband nor I are gardening types - still stuff would grow and bloom...it was nice.
I haven't seen these before. I see some green on catnip and hollyhocks.
Vee, the foliage is quite lush, but it all disappears before the flower stem emerges. Actually, the flower is quite common in this area.
Grace, our garden has gotten "kind of wild" since neither of us has the energy to devote to it that we once had. But today is a gardening day!
Wish me well
Chuck, a hollyhock peeping through the soil was actually the first green I saw here this Spring. Good to know that greening up is taking place in the northland.
Isn't it fun to find some green popping up?! I have snowdrops as of today--a whole bunch out front. My catnip was the first to come up, though I'm not telling the kitties.
Lin, Spring is fun, and we waited a long time for it! Some things the cats just don't need to know (but they'll discover it soon enough).
I love those lilies and I now have several patches, but I've found that when I disturb the bulbs it takes about three years for anything to happen again.
Sharkbytes, I have lifted none of these bulbs in thirteen years. Based on your experience, I think I shall leave well enough alone.
