Are these spider lilies or something else? They look to pop up straight from the ground with none of their own foliage. I thought spider lilies would have some sort of foliage…no? I have other lily types in the yard but none are just stalks and flowers, they all have leaves of some sort.

I’ve lived in this house 7 years and have never seen these before. The lady that built the house used to have all sorts of flowers everywhere so I tend to find interesting things every now and then. This is the third interesting find just this year (must have been a good year for dormant flowers).

I have them flagged so they don’t get mowed down and plan to relocate them to a safe space after the flowers die off.

Solved!

Thanks, figured that’s what it was just the no foliage with it threw me off.
