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!

Gotta Buy Them All!!
Scent: Keratin
I currently have these sets: - Rice Water - Keratin - Biotin - Cleanser I have been a hairstylist for about fourteen years and have tried EVERY expensive, professional salon brand product out there that promised great results for moisture, repair, scalp health, etc. and none serve the purpose for more than a day or two. These products have been a game changer. I have very curly, fine-medium strands with high density that is consistently dry, brittle, extremely frizzy, and tends to clump together with most products I have used that promise to repair and assist. I started using the cleanser (I recommend using it ONCE a week at max -- it exceeds the expectations and will leave your hair feeling stripped and dry if you use it too often) to start with, to remove build-up. My hair obviously felt incredibly dry after this, so I washed a second time with Biotin and then finished with the biotin conditioner -- for the first time in years, my hair feels AMAZING. It has been three days since the last wash. My hair typically feels heavy and weighed down after the first day. I usually braid my hair lightly and put it in a silk bonnet and I wake up with it having absorbed any bit of moisture it can, and it still felt like straw. After two uses of the biotin, I am able to go 3-4 days between washes and my hair and scalp still feel light, fluffy, fresh, and my hair is incredibly soft. My curls went from loose, messy waves to finally retaining the curl pattern again. My hair isn't breaking off every time I run a pick through it. I can actually easily detangle it while the conditioner is in, and was able to leave the conditioner in for a treatment overnight and it felt even better. My roommates have been using the various ones I have gotten for us, as well, and expressed really enjoying working with their hair again afterward. It responds well to other products cleanses really well afterward. Just a reminder: Most of these are sulfate free. You will not get much in the way of bubbly lathers from this, but your hair WILL be clean. Work it into your hair for 3-5 minutes before rinsing the shampoo out and even let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing while you do everything else. More does not equal better -- this product goes a long way! We just purchased the Apple Cider Vinegar and Nettle formulas and I'll update if they are not as great as the others!

Buy it!!!! Amazing!!!!
Scent: Rice Water
I purchased the Rice Water set..... And let me tell you, I don't think I will ever go back to using anything else!!! I have only used once as I just got it yesterday, and I am truly blown away by the outcome already!!! My hair is extremely, unbelievably damaged from blonde and excessive heat. It has been breaking and thinning like crazy and really just makes me cry sometimes! (I am also 40 so there's that age factor too. I have just started on several quality vitamins, I've decided I will lay off going to the salon and let the blonde grow out, and I have been avoiding heat for a couple weeks now but it has still been super dry and brittle). Well one use of this shampoo/conditioner set and my hair is SO SOFT, SMOOTH, AND SHINY!!!! Like whaaaaat?!? And it smells absolutely wonderful! Not an overpowering perfumy smell, but just a very soft, subtle, and sweet smell! This is definitely a keeper!!! Buy it girl, you won't regret it!! 🙌🏼🥰

Works right away
Scent: Purple
Perfect for wanting your blonde to be on the white side and not yellowish or brassy look. Great of upkeep in-between salon visits. Hair feels moisturized after and soft. BE CAREFUL as this does STAIN your hands and white in the shower / bath. Rinse it off your hands immediately. Bleach will remove any drops or drips. Has a ton. of pigment in it so everything must be throughly rinsed. (no need to freak out first time but it is a bit messy so be prepared but results worth it)

Great products
The Ordinary Serum Favorites Set is a great way to try some of the brand’s most popular products without committing to full sizes. Each serum feels lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it easy to layer into a routine. I noticed my skin looked smoother and more balanced after a couple of weeks of use. The simple, no-frills formulas are effective and perfect for anyone who wants targeted skincare without the high price tag. Overall, a smart and budget-friendly starter set
