Naked Ladies waiting for me to come home....

These gals were in their late summer splendor upon my return from Chile.  I usually forget them as they pop up in the spring, die off and then flower months later.  I've protected this bunch from mowing and such by moving them near a red maple.

BTW-the term "Naked Ladies" is in reference to the flowers blooming in the absence of leaves.
