Naked Lady

[cairnoscar]

My neighbour has a beautiful plant in her garden which she calls "Naked Lady." When I Google this you can imagine what sites come up.

Can anyone help me with the proper name for this plant. I think they are bulbs?

Thanks

Not absolutely sure, but I think they are colchicums (autumn flowering crocus). The flowers appear before the leaves and they are usually a lovely lilac/purple colour. If so, then yes they are bulbs.

Might be Dicentra- if it is bloom at moment- also called 'lady in the bath'- deep pink, funny shaped, hanging flowers, can also get it in all white

Haha, thats great. My mum (in her innocence) was trying to find the web site for the M.E.N (Manchester Evening News) arena, so of course she typed men into google. Lets just say she didnt find the right web site!

Some people called it the surprise lily

Autumn crocus are commonly called naked ladies. I'm with Rusty Lady.
