This native lily is also known as the "Texas Spider Lily." Every April, these spidery white blooms begin to appear in wetland areas across Texas and the Southeastern United States. They make large clumps and showy displays in settings that are often too hostile to other bulbs and plants. The flowers fade as we head into May, but the show is well worth it! They produce multiple softball-size blooms atop strong stalks amid dark green foliage. In pond areas, they look like islands of white color!

We can start with a lot of things to say about the "Texas Spider lily", but let's just start with that it is one-of-a-kind and one of the only natives we readily grow and promote. As gardeners, we are always looking for something to make our garden beautiful yet connected to our environment as well. The "Texas Spider lily" offers a unique opportunity to satisfy both of those goals. As a native though, we want to be very clear on something. Natives like to be in specific conditions.

WARNING: Yes, we have this above, but we want your bulbs to be successful for you and this is extremely important! Please note that the native habitat for this bulb is an environment in which it is extremely wet in the spring, and dry in the summer. Some examples of this would be fields that have standing water in the spring but dry out in the summer, spillways from lakes or ponds that over flow in the spring but don't in the summer, stream banks that are high in the spring and low in the summer, bar ditches that collect water in the spring off the side of a road, etc. The bulbs are smaller than what you would expect for the amount of blooms they eventually put out once they are mature. We have them circling the farm ponds at the Southern Bulb Company farm. In August, these ponds are lower and dry around the banks...the bulbs love it, and bloom in standing water in April when the ponds are high.

Appearance: When the "Texas Spider lily" blooms, the white "spiders" sit on tall, narrow stems. The dark green stems usually stand about 2 feet tall, but they can grow up to 3 feet tall depending on the conditions. The blooms usually appear in April, and the white blooms cluster to create a softball-size clump. The Hymenocallis liriosme is distinguished from other varieties by the yellow center deep in the bloom's center. The "Texas Spider lily" has a light sweet fragrance.

Resilient: The "Texas Spider lily" is a hardy plant that can grow in zones 8-10. This bulb needs to be planted in an area that is extremely wet in the spring and dry in the summer. WARNING: Native flowers and bulbs can be hard to sometimes adapt to modern landscapes. Please note that the native habitat for this bulb is an environment in which it is extremely wet in the spring, and dry in the summer.

Uses for this Bulb: Some examples of this would be fields that have standing water in the spring but dry out in the summer, spillways from lakes or ponds that over flow in the spring but don't in the summer, stream banks that are high in the spring and low in the summer, bar ditches that collect water in the spring off the side of a road, etc.

Urban examples of use for this water loving flower include detention areas required for commercial construction, natural drainage areas that need native plants and aren't easily mowed, or areas that have clean water requirements and needs plants to help filter the water before it drains off site.

Native and History: This bulb is a native Texas bulb. It can endure the tough weather that Texas has to offer especially the hot dry summer in full sun. We have an early historical account of this bulb in the State of Texas. In the early to mid-1800's, explorer Jean Louis Berlandier, a Swiss-French botanist, charted the plants of Mexico, an area that included sections of present-day Texas. In his journal he describes a scene where his expedition party that hiked from San Antonio to Rusk, TX found itself surrounded by knee-high white lilies. Many believe these flowers were the white spidery blooms of Hymenocallis liriosme. Berlandier wrote of many interesting aspects of life in Texas in the mid 1850's, such as foot long fresh water prawns from the rivers taken to open markets in San Antonio in wooden wheel barrows. Alas, abundant foot long fresh water prawns in Texas rivers can no longer be found. However, the botanical displays of these white spider lilies have persisted and can still be enjoyed today! Drive county roads in April, and you could find yourself in the middle of these spectacular beauties. We're excited to offer them to our customers!

You will receive small to medium bulbs in this special offer. The bulbs were harvested from our wet spring soil so be prepared for them to look this way. The best thing that you can do is to plant them as soon as possible in conditions similar to their native environment - somewhere wet right now that will be dry this summer. We know that this means digging in the mud, but you are doing this for the bulbs and for the beautiful stand that you will have in the future!

Great sink organizer!
Good quality storage/organizer for the kitchen sink. It’s stable and can hold an assortment of dish cleaning products close to the sink. It has a plastic dish underneath to collect drip-off water. This is exactly what I needed to organize!

Great kitchen organizer
I love this handy kitchen sink organizer! I like things to be neat and tidy. This little product does the trick! It holds my dish liquid, hand soap, brushes, disposal cover and my sponges. The size is perfect and it looks great next to my sink. The organizer is made of metal and is built very well. It even has a drip pan. No more stuff all around the sink. This keeps it all organized so well. Love it!

Just right for the necessities!
Very sturdy and made of quality material. Some people may prefer an even larger version if they use more products but thisone fits perfectly on the ledge behind my sink and is just big enough for the products I use daily when cleaning the kitchen. My only complaint is that the drip tray is about ¼ of an inch too short lengthwise so if all your products get a little water on them, you may get some drippage on the counter but I just slid it to the far left side where the sponges go because that's where it's needed most. I installed it backwards because I can't remove the tray from the front due to the sinks edge being raised too high. I also installed the rag holder in the opposite direction so that I can fit taller/more products in the back, I just think it works better that way imo. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with this product.

It's the largest caddy I could find that is great. Compared with other product reviews: no assembly required, sturdy, scratch protected feet, no rusting, etc. I bought clear and black spray, foam and capped bottles for it and just love having all my natural cleaning products out, handy, coordinating and looking good. Add a splash of color with some nice kitchen sheers or dish cloth. I like that it's not broken into a lot of compartments, but rather mostly platform to mix and match lots of bottles onto. I do have a long handled brush, and the basket holds it beautifully without tipping. I also found a silicone draining mat I like the look of, and it fits Perfectly under the caddy in place of the clear/white tray it comes with. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHQ9MRZQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Since I see this caddy set up every day, I'm happy to have a quality product on display.
