it looks like an angel's trumpet, datura...though I never saw one with the stripes like that. Beautiful! Where do you live? In a place like Florida it is a perennial, but in colder climates you have to dig it up in the winter to take indoors.

Carmel, its not a datura Angel's Trumpet It kinda looks like the blooms. The foliage is a type of lily. I'm from So. GA and when they bloom its going to rain. But its not a rain lily. Very pretty!

It reminds me of a day lily. Are the blooms short lived....a day! I haven't seen a striped pink before...but I would agree it is some type of lily. Very pretty.

These are all over the southern U. S. at every old home place. Never have I heard them called by any particular name. I have some that were given to me 30 years ago by an elderly lady which I refer to as my peppermint lily. I planted only one and now have dozens...absolutely beautiful when they bloom (the entire summer). You have peeked my curiosity. I WILL find out somehow. Edited note: I do believe it is Milk and Wine Lily after researching.

I agree with Douglas, it's a Crinum and should be very hardy in your area.

It is a Crinum latifolium. A member of the Amaryllis family. So are Bare Naked Ladies but they have foliage that dies back during the summer & in the fall a bare stalk emerges with a cluster of pink flowers on top. Hence the "bare naked" part. I believe the Crinum is supposed to have medicinal properties.

In my area we call them "Resurrection Lilly " or naked lady Lilly. They have a wonderful smell. The leaves come up early and die down, then reappear later when it blooms in August. Hence the "Resurrection" name.

I think it is also called a "surprise lily" at least in the Midwest.

NOT Naked Lady or Surprise lily! This plant has a flower stalk coming up out of foliage & is blooming in the spring. Naked Lady (surprise lily) sends up a flower stalk out of bare dirt, in the fall, after all its foliage has died off. This is Crinum latifolium. Both are members of the Amaryllis family but are totally different plants.

They are not Naked Ladies. My neighbor has these and she calls them Angel Trumpet Lilies.

use to be called CEMETARY LILLIES, cause you could plant them at the graves of loved ones and they required no care to bloom pretty! they are part of the CRINUM family and your particular one is called MILK and WINE because of the color. I have several different ones because I am old and so are they. check out Jenks Crinum Farm for more.
