thanks in advance for your help the plant is now a houseplant that's put outside in the spring. once a year, it forms 1 stalk when it's ready to bloom. the stalk forms in about 3 weeks and is about 18 inches long. it forms 4 or so blossoms that have a delicate frangrance, somewhat like vanilla. after the blooms fade, they form seed pods abou the size of a kiwi and are light green. appreciate the help!
Thank you, Douglas. I don't profess to know anything about plant classifications, but . . . Found it at the URL you gave me. It's Hymenocallis senegambica. Cannot find what the common name for it is. Did a google search and came up empty handed. Hymenocallis caribaea is the Spider Lily. Is the Hymenocallis senegambica also called a spider lily? What a great site ya'll have here! We've wondered about this plant for 10 years now.... have just been calling it the 'Anguilla" plant Thanks again, so much, for your help Beth
