This native lily is also known as the "Texas Spider Lily." Every April, these spidery white blooms begin to appear in wetland areas across Texas and the Southeastern United States. They make large clumps and showy displays in settings that are often too hostile to other bulbs and plants. The flowers fade as we head into May, but the show is well worth it! They produce multiple softball-size blooms atop strong stalks amid dark green foliage. In pond areas, they look like islands of white color!

We can start with a lot of things to say about the "Texas Spider lily", but let's just start with that it is one-of-a-kind and one of the only natives we readily grow and promote. As gardeners, we are always looking for something to make our garden beautiful yet connected to our environment as well. The "Texas Spider lily" offers a unique opportunity to satisfy both of those goals. As a native though, we want to be very clear on something. Natives like to be in specific conditions.

WARNING: Yes, we have this above, but we want your bulbs to be successful for you and this is extremely important! Please note that the native habitat for this bulb is an environment in which it is extremely wet in the spring, and dry in the summer. Some examples of this would be fields that have standing water in the spring but dry out in the summer, spillways from lakes or ponds that over flow in the spring but don't in the summer, stream banks that are high in the spring and low in the summer, bar ditches that collect water in the spring off the side of a road, etc. The bulbs are smaller than what you would expect for the amount of blooms they eventually put out once they are mature. We have them circling the farm ponds at the Southern Bulb Company farm. In August, these ponds are lower and dry around the banks...the bulbs love it, and bloom in standing water in April when the ponds are high.

Appearance: When the "Texas Spider lily" blooms, the white "spiders" sit on tall, narrow stems. The dark green stems usually stand about 2 feet tall, but they can grow up to 3 feet tall depending on the conditions. The blooms usually appear in April, and the white blooms cluster to create a softball-size clump. The Hymenocallis liriosme is distinguished from other varieties by the yellow center deep in the bloom's center. The "Texas Spider lily" has a light sweet fragrance.

Resilient: The "Texas Spider lily" is a hardy plant that can grow in zones 8-10. This bulb needs to be planted in an area that is extremely wet in the spring and dry in the summer. WARNING: Native flowers and bulbs can be hard to sometimes adapt to modern landscapes. Please note that the native habitat for this bulb is an environment in which it is extremely wet in the spring, and dry in the summer.

Uses for this Bulb: Some examples of this would be fields that have standing water in the spring but dry out in the summer, spillways from lakes or ponds that over flow in the spring but don't in the summer, stream banks that are high in the spring and low in the summer, bar ditches that collect water in the spring off the side of a road, etc.

Urban examples of use for this water loving flower include detention areas required for commercial construction, natural drainage areas that need native plants and aren't easily mowed, or areas that have clean water requirements and needs plants to help filter the water before it drains off site.

Native and History: This bulb is a native Texas bulb. It can endure the tough weather that Texas has to offer especially the hot dry summer in full sun. We have an early historical account of this bulb in the State of Texas. In the early to mid-1800's, explorer Jean Louis Berlandier, a Swiss-French botanist, charted the plants of Mexico, an area that included sections of present-day Texas. In his journal he describes a scene where his expedition party that hiked from San Antonio to Rusk, TX found itself surrounded by knee-high white lilies. Many believe these flowers were the white spidery blooms of Hymenocallis liriosme. Berlandier wrote of many interesting aspects of life in Texas in the mid 1850's, such as foot long fresh water prawns from the rivers taken to open markets in San Antonio in wooden wheel barrows. Alas, abundant foot long fresh water prawns in Texas rivers can no longer be found. However, the botanical displays of these white spider lilies have persisted and can still be enjoyed today! Drive county roads in April, and you could find yourself in the middle of these spectacular beauties. We're excited to offer them to our customers!

You will receive small to medium bulbs in this special offer. The bulbs were harvested from our wet spring soil so be prepared for them to look this way. The best thing that you can do is to plant them as soon as possible in conditions similar to their native environment - somewhere wet right now that will be dry this summer. We know that this means digging in the mud, but you are doing this for the bulbs and for the beautiful stand that you will have in the future!

Sad it doesn't do my rugs which is what I needed it for it's good just a wood floors & not on stains
Color: White
I was excited about this. It works okay on kichen floors but for my rugs (which I want I wanted it for) does not work at all, I cant even move it and you have to scrub over the spots in your kitchen floors over and over again before the spots come out but I guess for wood floor is it's a good steamer but not what I was looking for : ( im returning it. And the swivel doesn't work right either

Steam traper
Color: White
​I really love this steam mop. It cleans my floors perfectly and is very easy to use, making my weekly cleaning routine much faster. The steam power is impressive and it does a fantastic job of removing tough dirt without needing extra chemicals. ​The versatility is also a huge plus for me. Being able to detach it to use as a handheld steamer makes it perfect for cleaning hard-to reach areas or tight corners around the house. It is definitely a great and practical purchase for anyone looking for a deep clean.

I love my steam cleaner. I don't refer to as the steam mop because it does so much more.
Style: PowerFresh Steam Mop
This product works wanders. Not only does it come with the steam mop it also has 10 accessories included. It picks up the dirt like no other mop I have ever had. The accessories are a important part. It comes with a squeegee my mirrors and windows have never looked so clear and to think it is only being cleaned with steam no chemicals. The windows look like they do not have a pane of glass anymore. I have used the accessory that cleans around the sink and my I was actually disgusted with what the steam cleaner blew out around the handle It was stuff that you could not see with a naked eye and it left my spout actually shining like I had just purchased it. The steam mop itself is absolutely wonderful. We have used it and let me tell you that after cleaning the floor to walk on the floor barefoot it feels so clean. To think that just steam has been able to clean my entire house is just amazing. I have breathing issues so to use this chemical and that chemical was just a waste of my time and money. I wished that I would have invested in this steam mop before I look back and think of how much money I would have saved and the amount of time I spent picking out the right products just makes cringe. I do not have any pets so as far as the aspect of hair and smells I cannot make any statement about. Why did I purchase this particular unit is because it has all the features that I am looking for it works on hardwood, tile, I have vinyl in my kitchen and it cleans it like a charm. Plus lets not forget all the accessories. I was able to clean my entire kitchen even the stove the steam just releases stuck on hard food like you would not believe. It cleaned my entire bathroom the crevice's around my toilet the sink crevice's the grime that soap film leaves in your shower unit, leaves your mirrors looking spotless no streaks. And the floor is super clean. All without any chemicals. If my unit should ever quit working I would replace with this model if available or a similar unit if I have no choice. I really have no negatives about my steam cleaner. If I was to give any negative comment it would be how the cup attaches to the handle for storage the cup seems to fall of the handle easily. The second thing would be the size of the accessories I wished that they had larger attachments the squeegee could have been wider to clean a larger area the attachment it came with is perfect for bathroom mirrors but when it comes to the house windows it takes much longer time to get that job done. Those two things are petty things that is able to be pushed aside when comparing if this is the model for you.
