Spring break has been very busy. We went to the camp in Warm Springs for a couple of days. We call it the camp because it is loaded with deer, wild turkeys and has a pond for fishing. My parents have passed away and this was their home and estate. We have inherited the estate and maintain the property with care. Mom planted these wonderful resurrection or surprise lilies a long time ago. I transplanted some about 5 years ago when she was living with us after Dad died while we still maintained her estate. I dug some more up and sold them at a yard sale. I have posted a picture of the foliage of mine here in the flower bed. They show themselves in the Spring with foliage and then the foliage dies down. These lilies are forgotten until August or September when beautiful lilies pop out of the ground and surprise!! It is as if early Spring comes back in late Summer or early Fall. These bulbs will multiply and can be dug up and transplanted to a new area for more happiness. I will put a link for more information.
