Back in late August on one of my trips to the Desert Botanical Garden, I found this unusual looking bloom growing on a plant that was growing in water. I was determined to find out what it was before I posted the photo of it but, my searches on the internet were fruitless. So I emailed the garden with the question. It turns out that it's a Spider Lily or if you want to be technical, a Hymenocallis sonorensis.
It was growing in the little watering hole by the shady spot where I like to sit every now and then. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it before.
I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today. I'm off to "that toddlin' town".
Aptly named. I really like it, it's very pretty (and perhaps also because I'm not afraid of spiders!)
