A friend has tons of these in her yard. I don't know how to post them without having a photobucket. Can I email them to some people? they are very tall and red. They almost look like an octopus at top. Please help me! [img]http://s217.photobucket.com/albums/cc37/LorisPixs/[/img]

I've never seen anything like those before...the leaves make me think it might be a bizarre daylily cultivar

My guess would be that the foliage you see there doesn't actually belong to them, but probably to a daylily that has grown in above them. Lycoris usually blooms before it sends up any foliage, and it frequently gets over-planted because it remains hidden most of the growing/planting season and is often forgotten about.

I have em in my yard too, but at the present, they do not look like this pic. I see the orginal poster is in Canada area, so that may be why they full bloom in that pic.
Some people call them "Spider lillies", I was always told they were called "Naked Ladies" due to in the fall of the year, a stalk shoots out of the ground, then the bud get bigger then opens (looks like flower in pic), last of all the leaves shoot up and stay green all winter. During the late spring the whole thing dies back. When I see Naked Ladies...Fall's around the corner.
i love those. i got bunches from my daughter last year, and shared them around. here, they are also called hurricane lilies because they bloom during hurricane season.
