This native lily is also known as the "Texas Spider Lily." Every April, these spidery white blooms begin to appear in wetland areas across Texas and the Southeastern United States. They make large clumps and showy displays in settings that are often too hostile to other bulbs and plants. The flowers fade as we head into May, but the show is well worth it! They produce multiple softball-size blooms atop strong stalks amid dark green foliage. In pond areas, they look like islands of white color!

We can start with a lot of things to say about the "Texas Spider lily", but let's just start with that it is one-of-a-kind and one of the only natives we readily grow and promote. As gardeners, we are always looking for something to make our garden beautiful yet connected to our environment as well. The "Texas Spider lily" offers a unique opportunity to satisfy both of those goals. As a native though, we want to be very clear on something. Natives like to be in specific conditions.

WARNING: Yes, we have this above, but we want your bulbs to be successful for you and this is extremely important! Please note that the native habitat for this bulb is an environment in which it is extremely wet in the spring, and dry in the summer. Some examples of this would be fields that have standing water in the spring but dry out in the summer, spillways from lakes or ponds that over flow in the spring but don't in the summer, stream banks that are high in the spring and low in the summer, bar ditches that collect water in the spring off the side of a road, etc. The bulbs are smaller than what you would expect for the amount of blooms they eventually put out once they are mature. We have them circling the farm ponds at the Southern Bulb Company farm. In August, these ponds are lower and dry around the banks...the bulbs love it, and bloom in standing water in April when the ponds are high.

Appearance: When the "Texas Spider lily" blooms, the white "spiders" sit on tall, narrow stems. The dark green stems usually stand about 2 feet tall, but they can grow up to 3 feet tall depending on the conditions. The blooms usually appear in April, and the white blooms cluster to create a softball-size clump. The Hymenocallis liriosme is distinguished from other varieties by the yellow center deep in the bloom's center. The "Texas Spider lily" has a light sweet fragrance.

Resilient: The "Texas Spider lily" is a hardy plant that can grow in zones 8-10. This bulb needs to be planted in an area that is extremely wet in the spring and dry in the summer. WARNING: Native flowers and bulbs can be hard to sometimes adapt to modern landscapes. Please note that the native habitat for this bulb is an environment in which it is extremely wet in the spring, and dry in the summer.

Uses for this Bulb: Some examples of this would be fields that have standing water in the spring but dry out in the summer, spillways from lakes or ponds that over flow in the spring but don't in the summer, stream banks that are high in the spring and low in the summer, bar ditches that collect water in the spring off the side of a road, etc.

Urban examples of use for this water loving flower include detention areas required for commercial construction, natural drainage areas that need native plants and aren't easily mowed, or areas that have clean water requirements and needs plants to help filter the water before it drains off site.

Native and History: This bulb is a native Texas bulb. It can endure the tough weather that Texas has to offer especially the hot dry summer in full sun. We have an early historical account of this bulb in the State of Texas. In the early to mid-1800's, explorer Jean Louis Berlandier, a Swiss-French botanist, charted the plants of Mexico, an area that included sections of present-day Texas. In his journal he describes a scene where his expedition party that hiked from San Antonio to Rusk, TX found itself surrounded by knee-high white lilies. Many believe these flowers were the white spidery blooms of Hymenocallis liriosme. Berlandier wrote of many interesting aspects of life in Texas in the mid 1850's, such as foot long fresh water prawns from the rivers taken to open markets in San Antonio in wooden wheel barrows. Alas, abundant foot long fresh water prawns in Texas rivers can no longer be found. However, the botanical displays of these white spider lilies have persisted and can still be enjoyed today! Drive county roads in April, and you could find yourself in the middle of these spectacular beauties. We're excited to offer them to our customers!

You will receive small to medium bulbs in this special offer. The bulbs were harvested from our wet spring soil so be prepared for them to look this way. The best thing that you can do is to plant them as soon as possible in conditions similar to their native environment - somewhere wet right now that will be dry this summer. We know that this means digging in the mud, but you are doing this for the bulbs and for the beautiful stand that you will have in the future!

Pricey but great for people who need something gently on the tongue or mouth
Size: 4.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great alternative to traditional Toothpaste. Its a bit pricey but if you are like me you dont have to share it with anyone else because they can use regular toothpaste. The minty flavor is subtle but does not cause irritation. Easy to just just like regular toothpaste. it doesnt have any whitening in it but is a comfort for those that need a toothpaste gently on the tongue or mouth. Still does the job

Possibly the Most Important Theological Work of the 20th Century
Format: Paperback
Pope John Paul II's "Man and Woman He Created Them," popularly known as "A Theology of the Body" may be the most important theological work of the 20th century. I say this because John Paul II is not only a first-rate theologian but also because "Theology of the Body" strikes at the heart of a series of related issues that desperately need addressing today. "Theology of the Body" begins with the Pope's Trinitarianism, a fundamental doctrine that Christians often don't know what to do with. At the heart of his thinking, and all true Christian thinking, is God's self-giving love that is rooted in the Trinity. "Theology of the Body" also explores the nature of what it means to be human and made in the image of God. The book is titled "Man and Woman He Created Them" because it is especially in the relationship between a man and his wife that the relational and loving identity of God is revealed in humanity. Throughout, the Pope reaffirms the essential goodness of the human body. "Theology of the Body" is thus a profound theological work that I highly recommend to pastors, teachers, and educated laymen. Be aware: it's not an easy read! But a patient and thoughtful reading of "Theology of the Body" will, in time, become a blessing to the reader. One of the reasons it remains such a timely work is that it confronts some of the Gnostic tendencies in the Church today that spiritualize things and tend to downplay the significance and basic goodness of the body. At a time when humanistic and distorted views of human sexuality and identity abound, "Theology of the Body" provides an intelligent and profound rationale for the biblical, Christian meaning of sex, the body, and being made in the image of God. While Protestants may think that a work written by a Pope would be too Roman Catholic for them, in reality "Theology of the Body" is a work for the whole Church and all Christians. The book is filled with profound and rare insight into who God is and who man is. It will help to complete the theology of most Christian readers and also has important practical implications. Because the book was originally an extended series of lectures at times it can be unwieldy and difficult to comprehend. Sometimes it's difficult to understand what the Pope means in certain sections, since his writing is often dense. In spite of the difficulty in reading, it's well worth the effort. Because of the depth and difficulty of the work, some have found it beneficial to also read "Theology of the Body for Beginners" by Christopher West.

Excellent
Format: Paperback
While some readers may find John Paul II's writing style a bit circular or highly philosophical, the message presented in this text will change your life. Still, it is not easy reading. It is a collection of 129 audiences given by John Paul II commonly called the Theology of the Body. The audiences are based on Sacred Scripture. In this new translation audiences that were not delivered are now included. The Theology of the Body treats sexuality, marriage, celibacy, anthropology, family life, responsible parenthood, the wound of sin, redemption, and the resurrection of the body. This book is in my top five of best books. I have read both translations and Michael Waldstein's is much easier to read than the first edition. The new headers at the beginning of each section that directly indicate what is being dealt with in the text. The introduction that Waldstein provides gives a theological and philosophical vision for understanding the text. This book is worth your time. It stands against the culture of death and promotes the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It holds the answers the hunger that society is so desperately grasping at. If you don't know much about the Theology of Body it would prove useful to read an introductory text by West, Hogan, or Percy & Schmitz. Christopher West, who is properly described as a catechist, has excellent presentations on the Theology of the Body in DVD and CD format that could prove helpful to a first time reader. On a personal note: The Theology of the Body has helped me so much. I am in Holy Orders and I don't think I would be where I am except for this message (and God's grace and His will). This isn't some message that you can simply read and understand - it is something that you have to approach with an open heart and mind with prayer. I really hope you read this book and promote it's message.
