Texas Gardening: Naked Ladys / Belladonna Lily, 0 by rouxcrew

I fell I love with Naked Ladies on my last trip to CA and brought home several and have now bought some new ones as well. Like many of the naturalizing lily type plants, they seem to do better when abused, left to their own devices. They were growing around chain link fencing, obviously spreading out of yards and into ditches. Saw them in middle of the roads, in abandoned lots, and almost under the edge of sidewalks. I stopped and asked a lady if I could rustle some and she told me to please take them all.
I have all of mine except one in pots since it is fall. I just planted one in a new bed to see what happens. It was blooming when I dug it, although I had to cut it off to get it packed for the trip home. I was warned that they would dig themselves too deep to bloom, but the ones I dug up in CA were fairly close to the surface, go figure.
I hope someone successful with them posts, I am in love with them even though they don't hold the meaning for me that yours do. I have dark pink, red, and hopefully a striped one.
