also know as Climbing Lily, Southern Beauty Lily and Flame Lily.
These plants can be found in old gardens through out the South.
Sunday while doing pictures for a friend I happened
upon this one and quickly took some pictures to share
upon this one and quickly took some pictures to share
it is a vining plant that will grow up to 5 feet high.
Notice that the tips of the leaves actually turn into little tentacles
at the ends and twine onto anything that they can.
it's a beauty and I need to find one for myself..
I say that every year..
and I can't believe it's June already!

We had these growing everywhere at home in St. Augustine. we called them spider lilies! but your right - you never see them anymore and I certainly do not find them here in the Atlanta area. They are lovely!!
ReplyDeleteOh Cherry how beautiful. I tried one once but it did not get as beautiful as that one. Love yours!
