After living most of my adult life in the deep south I bought a house late last year in Indiana. With the awesome weather we have been having I have been out doing yard work. I have been finding all kinds of things sprouting under more than a year's worth of leaves & pine needles. I am hoping someone can tell me what they are.
Sprouting in my front flower bed
Sprouting all down the fence line in the back yard
the third one down also looks like "Surprise Lilies" if so, they do not bloom until August, at least in my zone. If they are the Dafs... you will know it soon enough.
Surprise Lillies in the last 2 photos. We have them in our yard. They will come up all green leaved & stay all summer. The leave will turn brown & dry up. Then come Autumn you'll get a tall (ours get 3 feet tall easy) stem with an orchid/lilly type flower. Ours are white & pink . Very pretty.
By the time Autumn comes you've forgotten about them and "POOF" here comes the flower.
Surprise lilies or naked ladies as some people refer to them as well...love them and have them in my yard (I dug up the bulbs from our old house and brought them here with us). I have a bad habit though of cutting them and bringing them in the house because they smell so good!
Are those Tulips here in Florida??? I thought they needed the cold to be able to bloom? I did not even think of planting them. In NJ, the squirells loved to nip off the flower. There is a small pocket of "juice" just under the pedals. It looked like someone had taken scissors and cut off the flower.
I go with crocus in the last picture (with the white stripe down the middle). Agree with Tulips, and some kind of lilly for the others. Had never seen the "naked lady" lillies until we moved here to Cincinnati - saw them all over here late last summer, will have to get some for ourselves. Very beautiful!
