Wow  :D  THAT IS STUNNING!  It looks like the leaves of a spider plant, but I've never seen that flower.  Can you give more info on that? O0

Almost sci-fi looking. Love the unusual. Is this the first of many - are those other buds just waiting to happen?

Cheers,

Mike

Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing?

Yup, there are more buds coming, about 5 more I believe.  @O@
(and there is another complete bud coming up from the other clump)
IT IS SO FRAGRANT!!!
Here is a photo taken when the sun finally came over the ridge...


perplexed ponder, it's hardy zones 6 and up.  O0

Kitty Zee, it may resemble the houseplant called 'spider plant', but it is huge, the leaves are the same size as Amaryllis leaves, about 1.5" wide and at least 18" long.
Very thick, succulent, leaves, with blunt-rounded tips, not pointed like the house plant. 8)

Thanks! It's a Hymenocallis occidentalis.
It's in the Amaryllidaceae Family (Amaryllis) so related to Crinums too.  :)

That is just the coolest plant ever!

Will it perform in shade?

Thanks Annette!  :)

Julles, it does not like shade.  :no:
Needs a lot of sun to bloom. 8)
