Definitely not gladiolus; they do belong to the amaryllis tribe, for sure. Could be a species of Lycoris, or spider lily - they'd be dormant right now, whereas Hippaestrums (garden amaryllis) would be in full growth. Another possibility is Amaryllis belladonna. Hope this helps!

THANK YOU BUBBA! You just helped me out! Yes they must be those red-ish or dark pink "spider lilies" that pop up in the Spring. I recall bringing them from my other home and planting them (where I dug up the bulbs) but i also recall digging up those once before and transplanting them. I guess i didnt get them all! Thanks again!!!!!!!!!

They look like lycoris squamigera aka magic lilies, surprise lilies, naked lilies. They have pink flowers and bloom in August. I just dug a larg clump of them this weekend.

I agree...they do look like Lycoris Squamigera. I dug some yesterday, and several of them were huge!
I don't think the Lycoris that are less hardy, get as big as the hardier Squamigera.
