Bulbs: Naked Ladies? For real?, 1 by crzymom

We recently bought a new house with some rather large, over grown and under cared for garden spaces. This foliage came up this spring, and obviously got hit hard by the late cold snap we had here in Indiana. It has shown no sign of flowering, and a neighbor tells me she thinks they may be "Naked Ladies". . .the foliage will die back, and then, late in the summer, the bulbs will flower. I've heard them called something else, but can't remember what. I do know the bulb is rather large, as I accidentally dug some of them up while transplanting that poor lilac. Do you think that's what I've got? The previous owner swears that they are beautiful! Crzymom
