aztec lily white 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!

Love 💜💛love 💜💛love 💜💛these shelves! 👍💝
Size: 2pcs, Color: B. White, Size: 2pcs, Color: B. White
I absolutely love these shelves, and I wish I got the 3 pack, but I will order more for sure. Instructions are easy enough to understand. Just make sure your arrow on the metal bracket points UP! Pretty much everything is included EXCEPT a screw driver ( Phillips head). There are extra screws as well. I have a ratchet screwdriver that helps me work longer as I have RA. Figure out where you want your shelving, in a row, off center, etc and mark your wall for the screw holes. A miniature level is included! Now, my own personal preference was to NOT use those plastic anchors! (I am not a fan of them at all.) Once I marked my wall for the screw holes, I attached 2 small command strips to the back of the metal bracket, lined it all up and pressed to the wall! Bingo! Now I have 2 hands to work this magic with and began screwing the bracket to the wall. 7 screws in all! This bracket is not going anywhere! Slide the shelving onto the bracket and then use 2 screws ( underneath) to firm up the bracket in the hole. Next, attach the metal grate to the shelving unit. And you are done. Repeat the process if you have more shelves. This couldn't be any easier. Everything lined up and went together without any issues. And it looks so clean and professional. For me, it just took a little longer than possibly a younger person or handyman. My shelves are off set. My preference. They don't hold a lot, but it does help with a few decorations, toilet tissue, or other bathroom items you might want to display. I highly recommend and when I finish this review and my 2nd shelf, I am ordering more! P.S. Pictures are not how I will be decorating. Just for a visual. UPDATE: Pictures with the yellow accents and purple depression glass is my decor in the bathroom.

Attractive, easy to install, not the strongest
Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown, Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown
We bought these shelves as part of a bathroom refresh. They installed easily, and were easy to align because of the included little bubble level. The shelves came with plenty of screws and mollies, especially because we only wound up installing two out of three. I like the storage basket, which holds a few rolls of toilet paper nicely. The shelves fit snuggly on the floating rods, especially after fully installed. The one downside is they feel a little cheap. The shelf does not feel super sturdy, so I wouldn't put anything really heavy on it. For bathroom decorations, it looks great, but this is not a system for storing lots of books.
