Beguiling pearls of wit, wisdom, and whimsy-with attitude

Alabaster Blooms

Posted on August 10, 2014 by Enchanted Seashells

UPDATE: I just found out that it’a Giant Spider Lily (Crinum asiaticum).

I don’t know the name of this plant; it was here when we moved here nearly forty years ago, but it blooms every summer and the fragrance is strongest after the sun sets.

How about helping me solve the mystery — if anyone knows what it is, please let me know!

I’m not smart on plant names. This one sure is pretty.

  Thank you, I know! I guess I should clip a flower and take it into the nursery-they should know, but I kind of like the mystery, I guess!

I was just going to tell you that it’s a Crinum–looks like a hybrid. It’s a beautiful flower. My mom used to grow them. There are lots of varieties now. Enjoy. Lucy

  What made me remember it was a type of lily is the way I divide it. From one plant, I must have planted dozens of them all over the yard. Strangely enough, they don’t too too bad with the drought, altho they def love to be watered!
