Spider Lily (hymenocallis acutifolia) - thanks Kamaly

Beautiful, didnt you find out their names? Never seen them before, looks like ribbon coming out of centre

You won't believe this D, but I have so far failed to discover the name!! They look nice close up, but en masse look very strange. H

wow, look at that! I have never seen this before! Very special.

Hi Helen - looks like you had a great trip!

These appear to be some type of spider lily - Hymenocallis - there are a lot of different species, so I can't say for sure which one this is. It looks a lot like H. caribaea - that is planted a lot around the Caribbean, and it would make sense if it were planted around Queensland, too.

Well done kamaly looks like you are spot on, and it is so unlike H not to find them, she would have in time, she never leaves a stone unturned.

Hi Jean I hadn't seen before either. And hello again kamaly thanks for the tip. You are right, it must be a hymenocallis, possibly acutifolia by the leaves. I'll check out some Australian sites (seem to be called "spider flower here)now I know the name. Look forward to your pages when I get the chance. I tried some moon shots while away - none of them a patch on yours. H

Very unusual and beautiful. No like you H not to know the name.

m and M thanks, they were very unusual and thanks to kamaly we know what they are. H

u must be there. Time for Dinner Plains.

WOW, fantastic picture!!

So long, Bob Ama

Thanks Bob Ama they look nice close up, but very very messy en masse. Cheers from Melbourne, Helen
