A friend of mine has a plant, and we don't know the proper name (botanical)
for it.  She was told it is called "Naked Ladies".  The foliage comes up in
the spring, dies completely back, then it sends up its flower shoots, which
are just now blooming (Zone 5 - upstate NY).  The flower looks just like an
oriental/asiatic lily.  There are five to six pretty pink blossoms at the
end of one very long, leafless stalk (about 3 foot high), with stamens (I
think that's the name for the center part) that stick out of the flower.
Anyway, we were curious what they might properly be called.  They grow well
in the shade, and are quite pretty.  Thanks for any help you can give.
