Spider Lily

I’m wasn’t actually sure that ‘spider lily’ is the common name of this flower, but when it opened up today, it reminded me of a spider – well with six legs instead of eight. So, I searched on ‘spider lily’ and found out that this flower is actually called that:

Hymenocallis caribeae is an evergreen bulb that is native to the West Indies. It does best in full sun or very light shade. The fragrant 3 to 4 inch intricately designed white flowers are borne on top of 18 to 25 inch tall stalks in midsummer.
