help ID'ing pink lily?

Hello, I bought my house last year and with it came this mystery plant growing behind the air conditioner. The previous owners (who owned the place for about 7 years) said it never bloomed, but it has bloomed now! I don't know lilies so my attempt to do a plant search hasn't turned up anything (or rather, I'm rather intimidated by the hundreds of entries on lilies!).

It's almost 36 in tall. It had long, curving, sword like leaves earlier this year, but those have died off, leaving just the big flower stem.

I would also like to point out the hint of blue on the ends of a few of the flower petals, if that helps with ID.

Thank you! I told my mom about it, and she told me it was a surprise lily too. I'd never heard of it! Thanks for the link!

We like to call them "Naked Ladies". Foliage in the spring that dies out and lily stalks in late July/August. i love the blue tones to the blooms & plant them everywhere.
