mexican spider lily Hymenocallis liriosme (native) - "Texas Spider Lily"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.

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!

I Wore These So Much I Almost Forgot I Owned Other Pants
Size: 48W x 32L, Color: Dark Rinse
I've been on a lifelong quest for the perfect pair of everyday jeans—durable enough for yard work, comfortable enough for a long car ride, and presentable enough to run errands without looking like I've given up on life. Having worn everything from high-end designer denim to discount store brands, I approached these Wrangler Authentics with a healthy dose of skepticism, especially given the price. I'm now a convert. I've had these jeans for about four months, and they've been my go-to for everything from building a shed to grabbing coffee. The relaxed fit is exactly what it promises: not baggy, but with plenty of room where it counts. The cotton fabric feels sturdy but not stiff, and they've held up to numerous washes without any noticeable pilling or significant color fade. They’re a workhorse of a garment, and for the price I paid, the value is simply unbeatable. I got a quality product that feels like it should cost twice as much. Pros: Exceptional Value: The quality far exceeds the price point. Comfortable & Relaxed Fit: Provides ample room for movement without looking sloppy. Durable Fabric: Holds up well to physical activity and repeated washing. Classic Style: A timeless look that works for almost any casual occasion. Cons: So Comfortable They're Addictive: They may cause you to neglect all other pairs of pants in your closet.

Honest value for money!
Size: 46W x 30L, Color: Black
I bought these pants (46 X 30 in black) figuring that they would probably be so-so like everything else that seems to be made for people that aren't "perfectly shaped." I'm VERY happy to report that I was wro...wroooo....um...less right than usual. ;-) (Obviously, I'm a guy.) Anyway, they fit well, feel quite comfortable, including plenty of room up front for sitting for too long, driving etc. No binding nor need to adjust. TMI? Nope...that's kinda important to us fellas. Perhaps I just happen to be the right sort of fat, but these jeans fit better than any other (Seriously! I'm 54 and this is really true!) pair of non-tailored pants that I've ever purchased. This includes purchases I've made in stores that I've tried on the item. These still fit better than those. Yep. That would be part of, "Any." I will be buying more and would encourage you to seriously consider these jeans. I don't work for them, they have never contacted me, except by sending what I ordered, nor am I in any way benefitting by writing a review. I don't usually write a review, but this actually moved me to want to speak up about a product/seller that shows what honest, ethical and attention to detail/customer needs and feedback. In closing, one must ask the obvious question after reading all of this. That question is: "Do penguins have knees?" Whilst you ponder that, just think about how good those jeans are going to look on you. A coupla days later they're going to look great in the window of the laundry machine (front load) at the laundromat and again when you put them in the dryer. Other people are just going to sob quietly about how icky their clothes look when compared to yours. Okay. The fact of the matter is that, yes, penguins do have knees. Now that you know that, I'm sure you'll rest much better and probably get better fuel mileage. Of course, that may not be true. I hope you've at least taken away from this little novel, that I'm very happy with the product and will absolutely be buying more in the near future. The rest of the silliness is just there to, hopefully, bring a little smile/sunshine into your day/night and I sincerely believe that it will be passed on from you to others, thus we can all spread a bit of happiness in a world that is in dire need of more love and less hate. ~peace to all
