Twin Spider lily blooms

I almost missed it, happened to be walking to the back part of the yard and it caught my eye.  I think the bloom on these are so neat.

Very pretty Kim!

I've always loved them but didn't want another thing to overwinter inside.

Very pretty Kim. They are very elegant looking. I would love to try some but don't know if they are hardy here. Will check into it.

I take my an put them in the greenhouse for the winter. 

I found this info on it, the bloom looks a little different.  Hope I'm calling it the correct thing.  I'm pretty sure I am.  Last year the blooms weren't near this big.


Tropical Bog/Shallow : Spider Lily (green)

 Green leaves wih large white flowers in spring and summer. Can be grown in as little as 2" of water. Grows to 2' Zone 8+. Great accent for pond border or bog.

Very unusual, if I was going to get a white lily that is one I would go for.

Shae, its a bog type plant.  The stems are thick and look like long blades.  Almost like in Iris leaf.
