Looks like a lily... smells like a lily

Post by PeggyC »

but its a crinum lily from the amaryllis family. I had no idea what they were when I moved in (I have about 10 clumps in different places in the yard) and imagine my surprise when they bloomed with these "lilies" that smell so fragrant!! :lol: Guess they are very common here in Texas.

Pretty white "lily" there, Peg!

This Texas gardening thing is going to be a whole new learning experience, isn't it? What an adventure! :D

I've heard of crinum lilies... very pretty, and it's great that they are fragrant! I've read that they aren't hardy enough to grow up here.
