Lilies in the night...sounds like a song from long ago...
This cool plant is growing in my yard over by my pineapple patch, I think it a variety of Lily? Anybody know?
It has a upright growth habit with numerous upstanding leaves radiating from a central base and the flower stalks come right up from the center about 18"-24" tall, before blooming out with 6-9 individual blossoms...they last for days-weeks on the plant and maybe two days cut in a vase. No scent at all. It has only started blooming now that we are getting more rain and cooler temperatures...
I almost pulled it out when I first bought the place! Boy am I happy now I didn't...
