    Rocky Shoals Spider Lily WHITE 1 Bulb Hymenocallis coronaria RARE Amaryllis.
    VERY RARE and ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!
    My grandmother dug these up many many years ago while on vacation in Alabama and brought them home and planted them. They can only be found in 3 states; therefore, making them RARE and VALUABLE .
    History/Info:
    This is a rare plant, one related to cultivated amaryllis and jonquils, and native only to a relatively narrow band in South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama.
    Produces long, sword shaped leaves, up to 3’ long, and then a thick stalk, topped with a cluster of white flowers, each bearing three spidery sepals and petals, and a prominent, and very impressive, white cup, featuring six spidery stamens.
    The pistil within has a long style, suitable for receiving pollen from visiting sphinx moths, sipping the sweet nectar. Each flower of the cluster opens one at a time, lasting but a single evening.
    Following flowering, green capsules ripen, then release their plump seeds. Such a magnificent part of our natural landscape.
