Old Town Lily
Recognize this lily?
It sure looks like the rare Cahaba Lily that grows in Alabama's Cahaba River. However, it was found growing in Old Town Selma. Could this be a type of spider lily since it's not aquatic, or is it a land-locked variation of the hymenocallis coronaria?

Yes, I believe that is a spider lily. You can check out the Caroline Dean wildflower directory for Auburn University here: http://content.lib.auburn.edu/cdm4/browse.php?CISOROOT=/flora.
ReplyDeleteThey have some shots of this very flower.
It sure is pretty!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what it is, but I have some in our garden. They bloom so rarely!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what it is, have never seen anything quite like it, but I sure love it and am glad you showed it here.
