Another of the flowers I got from my mother when she moved house decided to surprise me the other day by flowering. I called her and asked what it is called and she replied that it is a spider lily. I have done some searches on the internet and have found many different types of spider lilies, amongst others my own. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the scientific name of my specific one, but does it matter?

Those are wonderful…! They look like plants from another planet. I have never seen anything like them. I will see what I can find out, and let you know.

Very interesting looking flowers, I have never seen one of them before – they almost look like petunias with streamers hanging off the petals.

Hey-One of these came up in my yard. Sent a photo to my Dad and he sent me 2 sites one of which was yours.Here is the other one it has the scientific name of it. Not sure if they are exactly the same but it may get you closer to yours.http://www.nichegardens.com/catalog/item.php?id=1494They are really pretty.

I live in Jacksonville, Fl and “stumbled” across this beautiful flower/plant this past week. I love them, want them, but haven't a clue where to buy them. I went to our Home Depot and they didn't even know what they were. Any ideas where I might purchase bulbs or does anyone have some to share?You can send an email to me at dalmatianmom@comcast.netThanks.Karen
