This just popped up where the lawn and woods come together. Semi shade. I assume it's a bulb, as there are no leaves.

Polly, I had missed this post till now! That looks like some kind of Lycoris to me, could that be the ones you had that were producing autumn foliage and hadn't bloomed?

It's not the same one, not even close to the same area.

ON DG they ID'd it as Rhodophiala bifida. What do you think?

It doesn't quite look the same as the pics I've been looking at of Rhodophiala bifida, the bloom shape and the size of the anthers looks off to me. Has it overwintered in your garden?

I have no idea where it came from. So, I can't answer that.

Mostly we've had Z 7 winters recently, so it's a possibility something like that could have overwintered.

Ah, a mystery! Those are kinda fun, but they can drive me nuts too, LOL.
