What is the name of a plant that has pink amaryllis-like flowers but the leaves emerge after the flower stalk?

The flower stalk/flowers and leaves resemble amaryllis. However, the leaves appear at diff times from the flowers. Can someone help ID this plant for me?

'Naked Lady' Amaryllis meets your description. I have seen them on the Central Coast of California.
Reply:I have these flowers in my yard. I don't know the botanical name for them but I call them Surprise Lillies. Some people call them Resurection Lillies. The green leaves pop up in the early spring then die off. Later in the summer long stems shoot up and have light pink flowers on them. Hince the name Surprise!!!
Reply:I live in Iowa and we call them Naked Ladies, they really are lovely.
Reply:The name is Lycoris Squamigera, better known as the Magic Lily.
Reply:I believe what you're refering to are belladonna lilies. They grow at my parents' house. They are lovely and fragrant.
