naked lady
Leafless fall bloomer
Naked lady is a common name for the amaryllis belladonna, a bulb plant that sends up tall pink flower stalks in late summer before its leaves appear—the blooms stand exposed without foliage, hence "naked." The name applies to similar plants with this growth habit.
The naked ladies along the fence bloom every August.
