  1. Nice endemic one! Posted 6 years ago
    1. Thank you, Ferdy! As I was telling Christine, I was lucky to have found this a short walk/drive from our land (just over a mile away). I didn't get to explore the trail as much as I'd like (there was a giant yellow jacket nest in a fallen tree that made me stray from that path), so I'm hoping there is a large stand at least somewhere in my area. If I find a large stand, my goal is to find this:

        1. I was hoping to find some good locations mapped on iNaturalist, but there are only a handful of other observations within short driving distance! I may have to do some networking with other local botanists! Posted 6 years ago

''Hymenocallis occidentalis'' is a plant species native to the southern United States. It is known along the Gulf Coast from South Carolina to Texas, and in the Mississippi Valley as far north as southern Illinois and Indiana. It is also cultivated as an ornamental elsewhere because of its showy, sweet-smelling flowers. Common names include woodland spider-lily, hammock spider-lily or northern spider-lily.

Many of the other U.S. species of the genus grow in wetlands and along streambanks,.. more
