Yes. We call them Naked Ladies here in the Midwest. However, I do believe in other areas they are called Surprise Lillies. Every time we see them, which is everywhere right now, we yell, "Look!! Naked Ladies!!".

Around here they're called Naked Ladies because they don't have any leaves. The ones I'm used to around my apartment complex, they grow a batch of green leaves that die out, then later around late June early August the ladies come up everywhere. Is this the same as yours? I'm bidding on these. Always wanted some of my own. Nancy190

I'm not sure on leaves, haven't really paid attention to them, All I have noticed are tall green stems with green pods then the pods pop open to be the flowering lilies, so beautiful.
