      It is! I'm hoping to find a bigger stand of them (this was a fairly isolated one) so I can look for these (my professor brought them to my attention)!

The Woodland spider-lily

''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
