Once again, let's play, "What are these plants in my yard?"
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. http://community.webshots.com/album/132650513ZTZkWB http://tinyurl.com/3ylyn |

When I saw the white flowers on the last shrub, I thought Rosa Canina or
"Dog Rose" which is a wild rose: http://www.first-nature.com/flowers/rosa_canina.htm However Rosa Canina flowers have 5 pedals and not 4 as the one in the picture has.

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. Cea |

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.

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. -- Elizabeth of the Tudor Tarts http://www.tudortarts.com/ "Grubber" wrote in message nk.net...

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.

I did snag one bulb which I have planted in my stream. The other plants are in my yard, planted by previous owners. |

If not it is definately some kind of rose. I posted on a rose group, where someone gave me the answer: Pink Flowering Almond http://www.lotf.com/plants/shrubs/almond.htm |

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. Rusty Mase |
