Hymenocallis speciosa, or spider lily, we called them snake lilies when we were growing up. They grow in the swamps here. http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/789/index.html
You would also like crinum lilies: http://www.floridagardener.com/pom/crinum.htm http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/93829/ There is also a pink variety and a white with a wine stripe, called milk and wine, both of which I have.

Saladbowl, we have all sorts of plants that grow in the swamp. One day when I have time I will have to post some links for you. And this spring we will try to get some pics for everyone to see.
