Not this year, oh no!
The thing is gorgeous. The foilage died months ago, but it has sent up a 2-foot tall stalk on top of which are a half-dozen blooms which you see here.
So I hung a pillowcase on the fence that the thing grows against and took this snapshot.

Surprise!!!
whitteiii[at]-remove-mindspring.com - Indianapolis, IN
15Nov2003 1:33 PM (6 years 117 days ago)Looks somewhat like the proverbial "surprise lilly". The foilage is about 1 1/2 foot long and dies off (in Indiana) in July. The flower stalk then springs forth a month or so later. From bare ground to full flower in just 3 days. We have around 200 of the plants scattered about the yard. On a good year, roughly 1/4 of them produce flowers. The blooms, when brought into the house, can clear your sinuses. Enjoy.
