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!

Has some flaws but overall not bad
Color: Coffe Wood
I have a 13 pound Jack Russell mix who is an aggressive chewer and gets bored while I am working. I find that a frozen treat situation keeps him busy for 30-45 minutes in his kennel so I can get some quiet time. I've been stuffing the Kong and freezing it, but since I only have one, I have to remember to do it. I liked the option of keeping a bunch of frozen treats to refill the toy at will. I've been eyeballing the Pupsicle brand, but they are really expensive. So for around $10, I figured this was worth a try. Pros: So far seems tough. I unscrew it after he finishes the frozen treat so he can lick out the remains, then I take it away from him. I'm sure if I let him he would eventually chew it to shreds. The design is cute. Although you can't see the fact that the treats are brain shaped once it is in there, it does give me a kick to put a little brain in the skull. So far no issues with screwing the top of the skull on or taking it off The inner cavity is quite big. I filled the molds about 3/4 full and there is still a lot of room in the skull. If you have a bigger dog you can fill the molds to the top (just don't over-fill or it won't fit inside) If you make a big batch of treat filling, you can freeze the rest in those silicone muffin molds, they fit perfectly. Just don't over-fill. With a 3/4 full mold, made with pumpkin, peanut butter, oats, and a little water, it takes my dog about 45 minutes to get all of the treat out. Cons: It's huge and heavy. It's bigger than my dog's skull. But, since he is just trying to eat the brains, it's not like it needs to be lightweight. The rope is a bad idea. First, it gets gross. Second, my dog has chewed halfway through it already. This seems like a hazard for both choking and bacterial contamination. The biggest hole is big enough that my dog's bottom jaw gets a little stuck in there. So far he's always able to get it out, but it is a point against the toy. Overall, its not bad. Not perfect, but serves the function. I'd like to see a slightly smaller, slightly lighter version for dogs under 20 pounds, and lose the rope. If you do buy this, make sure to take it away from your dog once they have cleaned out the treat.

Great for aggressive chewers!
This item has held up for 4 months so far! My dog loves it, carries it everywhere. It's one of his favorite toys and he's been through so so many but this is the only one to hold up. However there are CONS! We have dubbed this bone "the cheese grater". My dog loves to bring his toys to us and press them against our legs to get our attention. So after a little chewing, the ends become very rough. When he runs by us with it in his mouth or presses it up against our legs, it tears our skin up! Also, the bone is very heavy so we have to watch out for our toes because Hank will drop it right on our feet if we aren't paying attention. Other than that, it's great! When it gets dirty, I just throw it in the dish washer and rinse it off after the cycle is done. Cleans up nicely! Would buy again if needed! Recommend for aggressive chewers!

This is the one for your dog
Size: Large
My 40 pound Mini Aussi is a very agressive chewer and goes through toys lightning fast===untill I got her this bone. She has had it several weeks and it still survives. She takes it everywhere she goes and it is, by far her favorite toy. I think she has met her match. One warning though. We have hardwood floors and it gets a bit noisy at times. That's just a small issue though. If Dixie ever destroys this (doubtful) I will not hesitate to buy another. Great toy and I coming off and she coming off and she wqw cfully recommend it. WARNING{ This is/was a great toy for my 50 pound Austrilian Sheperd, However it is not indestructable. It lasted about 3 months until the white parts started coming off and she was injesting it.
