The same pink flowering plant from before, with two more pix, plus a new
mystery plant with white flowers.

There's also a bunch of 'spider lilies' I saw down near the coast. If that
is not the correct name, lemme know.

When I saw the white flowers on the last shrub, I thought Rosa Canina or
"Dog Rose" which is a wild rose:

However Rosa Canina flowers have 5 pedals and not 4 as the one in the
picture has.

I think that the white flowers on the shrub are a mock orange. If it is
a small leafed plant, leaves about an inch or less long and very
narrow, it is probably the native if not, it is one of the other kind.
If the smell is very strong that would help id it, but not necessarily.


Hope this helps.

Ok the pink ones look like a Lady Banks Rose with Pink Flowers, I am
used to seeing them as yellow or white, but they probably have pink too!
If not it is definately some kind of rose.

The white flower looks very much like a dogwood flower and I would guess
that it is related as it looks very much like that.

Looking at pictures online, I think you may be right. There's almost no
aroma, but other than that, I think it must be some variety of Mock Orange.

Thanks!

The pink ones definitely look a lot like my mother's Lady Banks, but they
seem a bit scattered. Your lillies are indeed spider lillies - they grow
wild here in Texas, near wet areas.

The final white ones are mock orange. Several bushes in the yard when I was
growing up.

OMFG! What part of Texas does he live where spider lillies grow wild???

There are no wild ones around here, and I'd give my eye teeth to have
those beauties in my garden!!!!!!

I'd love to come and dig just a few up.

This is a Hymenocallis and probably H. lirisome. The name I believe
refers to the membrane formed at the base of the petals.

It is a common plant in wet areas in east Texas and more common in the
coastal plain. The plant grows from a sizable bulb that can be
transplanted. I transplanted three of them to a container and they
make nice accent plants - the smell of the flowers is really nice.

Also, the fruit are green acorn shaped "bulblets" that you can place
on the soil surface and kept moist and each sprouts a new plant. They
would require a lot supplemental watering here in Austin.

Those were off 183 on the far side of Goliad. There was about 1" of
standing water over the soil level. I did snag one bulb which I have
planted in my stream.

The other plants are in my yard, planted by previous owners.

How would they do in a pot in a small goldfish pond?

Steve, I think it would be too wet. Maybe if you floated it or
elevated the top of the container above the surface of the water. I
do not think that you can submerge the bulb continuously - but that
could only be determined by experimentation.
