Hymenocallis liriosme is a complicated name but a beautiful plant. These plants are commonly called spider lilies. While spiders are beautiful they don’t hold a candle to these flowers. These flowers are usually planted along the edge of the gardens so that they are front and centers where they belong! These flowers look like twinkling stars bursting from the landscapes. I can’t help but love them.
When Honey and I first started dating, he would pick one of these for me to wear in my hair when we would go on a date. (Sigh… How sweet and romantic!) They hold a special place in my heart and I can’t help but smile when I see them blooming!
