    I'd say it's a spider lily, Hymenocallis caribaea. :)

    I LOVE spider lily. And I am growing one this year. Not sure if it will bloom, but I am even happy with the foliage if it doesnt bloom.
    Repeat again : WOW!!

    It's gorgeous.... and is definitely a Hymenocallis.
    Theodoros posted a Hymenocallis harrisiana on his "Life of my Plants" thread.
    And I also have a Hymenocallis speciosa (which he ID'd for me). Darn grasshoppers ate the blooms on mine while I was at work and thus, I didn't get a photo this year. I did see LOTS of them growing along a ditch earlier this year when we had all that rain.

    Wonder what's the difference between the three??

    I just got a enough of these to put along the sides and back of my house. Pulled them from my parents yard where they are everywhere. I'll have to post pics of theirs, they're beautiful and absolutely huge. I'm hoping they do the same in my yard. And yes, even just the foliage is beautiful.

    Thank you all so much for the comments and help; Is it also called a Peruvian daffodil?
