Hymenocallis littoralis

 

Beach Spider Lily

Original:Origin latin america A truly amazing plant that can tolerate the broadest possible range of growing conditions. It can grow in water, in wet boggy areas, as well as dry areas. The lovely white flowers have long narrow reflexed petals behind a central cup. Several flowers are carried on each sturdy 70-90 cm. stem. Stamen filaments are green, and narrow petals have a thin membrane between them, which probabaly explains the origin of its scientific name.  New:Bulbs that put out strap-like leaves and stems of fragrant, spidery flowers in late Summer.
