This flower only blooms 2 to 3 days. Is it a spider lily? WOW :!: :!: :!: I just did my 300 post, cool.
Hiya G!zMo. Yup, yours is one of several plants in the Amaryllis family that go by the common name "Spider Lily". It is a Hymenocallis, and I think that yours may be H. occidentalis. Oh, and congrats on the post count.
Those things grow wild here in the deep south. Beautful, aren't they? Yours is wonderful. Congrats on the posting progress.
One of my favorites, we call them swamp lilies. When Richard and I were first married he went crawfishing on the railroad tracks in back of the house and brought me home a bouquet of these. It was the first flowers he ever gave me. Awwwwwww, the little things that made us happy back then. Thanks for the memory.
