Genus: Hymenocallis

Thanks for the kind comments! They are doing very well and the bulbs have grown bigger and produced "side bulbs" (don't know how to say it in English, sorry) that are almost as big as the "parent" bulbs. I'm trying to propagate them and bring them to blooming size too, so i can give a few to my mother :-)

These look lovely.

Beautiful Lily .......very exotic looking

Beautiful flower....Very different and truly exotic as Newfie and Marguerite mentioned....

I had two of these last year - do you think they'll appear again?

These sure look exotic. Very different from the species I grow, and mine also only flower a certain time in the spring.

Excellent Holantina, worth the effort and a head turner.

Exotic and beautiful..Definately does compensate for the one time bloom!

Nice photo. I like those too. I have some, but a different species. Yours are more beautiful though.

These are just fabulous Di.

Amy, they're well worth you trying again ! Make sure you water them daily during their growth period. In fact, in 1998 I purchased one and was told to put it in my pond ! It did great in there too. Then for winter I allowed the pot to dry out a bit and then I removed them from the dirt and put them in a box of peat moss slightly dampened, and kept them in a cool dark place all winter.

these are pretty

I think they are gorgeous, I bought some bulbs once ,but they didn,t come to anything ,I shall have to try again

Marksbegonias- I'm glad you like it. I thought that it looked very different that why I got a shot of it.

Another i've never seen before, lovely.

Thats different!!

Thats different!!

I'm with you, Flcrazy!! They're amazing.

When I bought this a year back, I believe they said that it was some sort of lily...Come on guys lets play...Name That Plant! :)

Cool looking lilies, definitely on my want list.!

Thanks. They're some of my favorites. You don't see many of them around here. Not sure why.

Thanks. The blooms are quite large. Probably 5 inches in diameter.

I love the look of those!

These look great.

Wow.., I gotta have some of these, really neat looking bloom.!

Gorgeous!

I've always wanted to try these and haven't gotten around to buying any..well I think you're photo have just dictated that I will have some of my own...lol

Just FABULOUS !

OMG What A Fantastic Daffodile Di :O

For a minute I thought you had this one confused with another flower called "Spider Lily" but I guess not ! Wow, you didn't lift them and they're coming back? How cold do you get there?

Even more WOW!! In fact two "WOWS" in our house. My hubby said WOW as well.

yep i thought so! same flower, different common name. had no idea they were related to the daffodil, just goes to show you learn something new every day!

i love these Diohio, are they the same thing that we call 'Spider Lily'? if so i have some, they were fabulous last year. i did'nt lift mine though but they look as though they are coming back! i can't think of the botanical name gonna look through my garden and see if it is indeed the same flower! i'll get back to ya!

Wow what a beauty.
