Ask the Expert: Can you tell me what the name of this plant? I live in Arkansas and I found it on the side of the road. Just thought it was neat looking. It looks like it might have a bloom coming out now. I can’t wait to see what it looks like. Can you tell me more about it? Dawn

Plant Expert Reply:

Looks like a Hymenocallis caroliniana known as Spider Lily.  These are native to Arkansas and often found in the wild.   I can make a positive ID when it blooms.  So if you can send me a picture of the bloom.

  2. Oh yeah it look like a spider lily beginning to bloom. The blooms should continue to open. Awesome.

  3. From the looks with the anthers sticking out, the plant looks like a Manfreda virginica, a south east native in the agave family.
