These are a kind of amaryllis, called Pink Lady or Naked Lady. The "naked" part comes not from their color, but from the fact that the leaves show in the very early spring, die back, and then the flower stalks poke up with no leaves, usually in August. The tops of the flower stalks are flat and shaped like a blade and emerge from even very dry and hard ground. In Northern California they naturalize and can be seen in great masses on sunny banks by the roadside. And to top it all off, they are intensely fragrant! Can you tell that these are some of my favorite flowers?
