naked ...

There are no Amaryllis belladonna, or naked ladies, in flower in this
neighborhood -- where the species rarely flowers anyway, unless situated in
a particularly superheated exposure. However, I saw a lovely print of the
plant in a place that made me laugh: at the medical center, in the
mammography room.
The technician hadn't heard the common name "naked ladies," and wondered if
whoever did the decorating had!
