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!

Uncomfortable
Color: Light Beige, Size: 38DD
In my search for a comfortable well-fitting bra, I came across this one. Reviews were good, so I ordered one. Half way through the day, I had to take it off. This is the most uncomfortable bra ever. This one went on to the "uncomfortable pile" pretty quick Not full coverage and not supportive. Side coverage is pretty good but straps are thin and do not lift.

Best Bra for Top Heavy Girlies!
Color: Light Beige, Size: 40C
I tried HSIA in the past but non of the bras fit right but this bra is the best! I’m glad I gave HSIA another chance because this is the best bra I’ve ever had! I’m already top heavy and doesn’t add extra bulk. It’s comfortable and breathable. In top of all that it’s affordable!

Good Price, Great Bra
Color: Dark Pink, Size: 44G
These bras are outstanding! Both the band and cup size fit are exactly as they should. Having bottom heavy breast means I always have to have a underwire. Lace material with underwire can be tricky for us with larger bra sizes, as the underwire can be uncomfortable and the lace tends to be hard and scratchy on the skin. A beautiful garment can become uncomfortable and tear easily, if not made well. That has not been my experience with these bras at all. I have purchased them several times. The material is nice and softens after it has been washed. They maintain shape and hold well. For this quality and delicacy, I would normally pay upwards of $60 per bra. With these, I get great price, quality material and excellent comfort, style and fit.

Holy S*** this bra is amazing.
Color: Black, Size: 42G
I’m sure you are coming here reading reviews thinking “I don’t know. No bra has ever fit me right before. How will I know this bra is any different?” And let me be the first to tell you I was right there with you. I have been bra shopping for what feels like forever. For context I am a G cup and finding bras that fit nice seems like something I’d only find in my dreams. I have gotten bras from Torrid, Victoria Secret, Lane Bryant, Kohls, Walmart, you get the idea. Yes I know there are plenty of other sites but I don’t want to spend $80+ for a bra! Between them either hurting like hell from the wire, feeling like I was wearing a corset that was made for a door, or having absolutely no support/coverage, I contemplated just wearing no bra at all. I had such “luck” that I thought “maybe if I wear a sports bra all the time these problems would go away.” You guessed it! They in fact did not. I even tried no underwire and sure the wire pain was gone but good ol back pain came in at full swing. I would have constant issues with spillage and not feeling supported (and DONT even get me started on the uniboob)that I began to think I was the problem. Fortunately, a couple of days ago, I had discovered HSIA. I can’t stress enough to you how wonderful this bra is. It’s not only supportive but it’s also comfortable, breathable, and full coverage. And a added bonus: IT LOOKS AMAZING. This bra has changed my depressive outlook on bras to the most positive outlook. So much so I’m wearing this bra FOR FUN. 10/10 would recommend. It fits true to size. Straps are comfortable, no pinching. Under wire is very comfortable and does not dig into my rib cage. There is no padding, but still feels/looks great. Some shirts you can see the lace material but they have another bra that is smooth (I bought that one too) that fits just as great. I personally did not experience any itching like some other people were saying but I’d say just give it a try. If you made it this far reading this just buy it and see for yourself :)
