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!

Great Little Book
Format: Paperback
The title of this book purports to explain to us how sanctification works in the life of a believer. Most people, in American culture at least, will look at this title and expect something of a "how-to" book, filled with bullet points and flowcharts and methods. But Powlison surprises readers by not pinpointing one way of sanctification or one method of growth in holiness but providing instead a broad range of ways God works to grow us into Christlikeness. Powlison is at his best here: succinct, personal, practical and powerful. This book is written as a counter to the "one way of sanctification" teaching we sometimes hear today. For example, some teach all we need to do to be sanctified is to focus on the gospel, rehearse it to ourselves, remember it. Others teach that sanctification comes through spiritual disciplines. But Powlison says there are a variety of ways God changes us and we need them all at different times. Powlison's teaching about Truth Unbalanced and Rebalanced in chapter 3 is worth the price of the book alone. God blessed me through this book. Thank you David Powlison for sharing God's sanctifying work in your life with us.

Well Written
Format: Paperback
A personal account of the author’s suffering paired with other important experiences and Biblical truths. Theologically sound and a quick read. It was not what I was looking for but it was well written, nonetheless.

Wonderful Little Book
Format: Paperback
I actually really love this book. It's short and to the point which takes away a little bit of the theological clutter that you can find in a text book which does limit its content. However, the few points it addresses, lovingly points out incredible truth that we need to hear when helping others, and provides stories which demonstrates his point. The most important passage, in my opinion is, "Ministry 'unbalances' truth for the sake of relevance; theology 'rebalances' truth for the sake of comprehensiveness." (pg.33) Sometimes we want to help people with phrases like, "the lord gives and the lord takes away" or "rejoice always" which is a true fact but could be a dagger in the heart of someone who just lost a wife/husband/child and is breaking down. Either of those statements could calm someone with grief but could also cause anger and bitterness. Some truth can provide immense hope to those in need, but not all truths will help each person the same way and they might respond poorly in a situation of pain. We do a disservice when we assume that all people need the same answers in the same way.

Solid and Helpful but left me wishing for a little more
Format: Paperback
I loved the first 8 chapters - the last three fizzled out for me. It makes me wonder if even the first eight chapters could've been abridged and the whole thing reduced to a pithy booklet. That being said, the first eight chapters contain some excellent material that I will be incorporating not only into my own life, but into my toolbox of material to use in helping others. The best material for me was in: > Ch. 6, "What Changes You?" - He has a simple, practical grid of the basic "Five Factors of Sanctification." - Foundationally, God changes you. - Secondly, The Word of Truth changes you. - Third, Wise People change you. - Fourth, Suffering and Struggling changes you. - Finally, You change. "Constructive change occurs through the interplay of these five factors: God, Scripture, other People, Life Circumstances, and the Human Heart." "Foolishness either overcomplicates or oversimplifies." > Ch. 2, "Is there One Key to Sanctification?" This is his great critique of the idea that there's a master-key to the Christian life, some fool-proof, secret principle that changes everything for everyone. We tend to think that the thing that revolutionizes everything for me, must be "the key" for everyone. But we're too complex and the Word and life is too diverse for there to be one master key solution. "Theological fads and fashions come and go" - but part of the counsel of God was never intended to give us the benefits of "the whole counsel of God." New days come and new challenges arise, and we have to keep on pressing on. Our variety of needs and the varieties of helps necessarily defy "reductionism." There is no single key. "Progressive sanctification is about how we live in between God's laying the cornerstone and setting the capstone." > Ch. 3, "Truth Unbalanced and Rebalancing" - If I might reword David's principle, slightly, In ministry, we over-emphasize one aspect of truth for the sake of application. In David's words, "Ministry unbalances truth for the sake of relevance; theology rebalances truth for the sake of comprehensiveness." We can only say one thing at a time and a person, practically, can only work on one thing at a time. So we make much of a single thing, and then always try to bring it back into alignment with the whole of life and the whole counsel of God. "You do not build a house with only one tool in your toolbox when God gives you a truckload of tools. But you use your tools one at a time, the right tool for the right job." "In the long run, a single truth harped on will disappoint even its devotees." > 5. "We Are Sanctified By Remembering Our Justification." Throughout the book, David Powlison has been coming back to the concrete, recent example of a sanctification key, advocated by many: Remember the past grace of justification; Repreach the gospel to yourself every day; Realize that you are accepted by God because of the merits of Christ, not your own. In this chapter he highlights that this is certainly one of the tools in our toolbox - sometimes this is the very thing we need for progress in sanctification. But it is but one part of a larger whole. A greater point to always have in mind is that God is for us: He was, is, still is, and always will be for us. Don't just look to past grace, but also to present grace and future grace, as well as many other useful motivations. David's personal testimonies in chapters 7 and 8 are rich. He weaves in the interplay of the five agents of change. Very good. "There is a reason that 'Don't be afraid" (in all its variants) is the most common command in all of Scripture." There is also a beautiful section in the last chapter describing the contrast between the peace of the believer exemplified in a text like Psalm 23, and the "anti-psalm" emptiness of the unbeliever whose life ends at the end of the valley of the shadow of death. Very good, but a bit disappointing to me. Powlison is true physician of the soul. When he speaks I want to listen. I would recommend Kevin DeYoung's, "The Hole in Our Holiness: Filling the Gap between Gospel Passion and the Pursuit of Godliness" as an additional and very satisfying book on this subject.
