My red spider lilies have finally shown their beautiful selves in my flower beds.  This happens every September and they are always a wonderful surprise because they seem to arrive overnight.  Red spider lilies are sometimes called naked ladies because there is no foliage on their stems.  I have them planted in masses throughout my yard and they are stunningly beautiful.  They don’t bloom long and are a great addition to ground cover type beds.  The flowers will emerge in the midst of all the green and stay for only a few days but the show is worth the time it takes to plant them.  My little Naked Ladies are many years old and have multiplied over the years into almost a solid sea of red in one of my green ground cover beds.  I also have them sprinkled throughout some of the border beds and their arrival is a welcome site in my poor heat fried flower beds.  Oh how I wish they could bloom all year long.

Aren’t they pretty?

I have some of the red spider lilies also, a friend gave me a few bulbs a couple of years back and now I have literally dozens of them coming up, have been dividing them and have enough to place in two flower beds now. One of my prettiest fall bloomers by far.
