This native lily is also known as the "Texas Spider Lily." Every April, these spidery white blooms begin to appear in wetland areas across Texas and the Southeastern United States. They make large clumps and showy displays in settings that are often too hostile to other bulbs and plants. The flowers fade as we head into May, but the show is well worth it! They produce multiple softball-size blooms atop strong stalks amid dark green foliage. In pond areas, they look like islands of white color!

We can start with a lot of things to say about the "Texas Spider lily", but let's just start with that it is one-of-a-kind and one of the only natives we readily grow and promote. As gardeners, we are always looking for something to make our garden beautiful yet connected to our environment as well. The "Texas Spider lily" offers a unique opportunity to satisfy both of those goals. As a native though, we want to be very clear on something. Natives like to be in specific conditions.

WARNING: Yes, we have this above, but we want your bulbs to be successful for you and this is extremely important! Please note that the native habitat for this bulb is an environment in which it is extremely wet in the spring, and dry in the summer. Some examples of this would be fields that have standing water in the spring but dry out in the summer, spillways from lakes or ponds that over flow in the spring but don't in the summer, stream banks that are high in the spring and low in the summer, bar ditches that collect water in the spring off the side of a road, etc. The bulbs are smaller than what you would expect for the amount of blooms they eventually put out once they are mature. We have them circling the farm ponds at the Southern Bulb Company farm. In August, these ponds are lower and dry around the banks...the bulbs love it, and bloom in standing water in April when the ponds are high.

Appearance: When the "Texas Spider lily" blooms, the white "spiders" sit on tall, narrow stems. The dark green stems usually stand about 2 feet tall, but they can grow up to 3 feet tall depending on the conditions. The blooms usually appear in April, and the white blooms cluster to create a softball-size clump. The Hymenocallis liriosme is distinguished from other varieties by the yellow center deep in the bloom's center. The "Texas Spider lily" has a light sweet fragrance.

Resilient: The "Texas Spider lily" is a hardy plant that can grow in zones 8-10. This bulb needs to be planted in an area that is extremely wet in the spring and dry in the summer. WARNING: Native flowers and bulbs can be hard to sometimes adapt to modern landscapes. Please note that the native habitat for this bulb is an environment in which it is extremely wet in the spring, and dry in the summer.

Uses for this Bulb: Some examples of this would be fields that have standing water in the spring but dry out in the summer, spillways from lakes or ponds that over flow in the spring but don't in the summer, stream banks that are high in the spring and low in the summer, bar ditches that collect water in the spring off the side of a road, etc.

Urban examples of use for this water loving flower include detention areas required for commercial construction, natural drainage areas that need native plants and aren't easily mowed, or areas that have clean water requirements and needs plants to help filter the water before it drains off site.

Native and History: This bulb is a native Texas bulb. It can endure the tough weather that Texas has to offer especially the hot dry summer in full sun. We have an early historical account of this bulb in the State of Texas. In the early to mid-1800's, explorer Jean Louis Berlandier, a Swiss-French botanist, charted the plants of Mexico, an area that included sections of present-day Texas. In his journal he describes a scene where his expedition party that hiked from San Antonio to Rusk, TX found itself surrounded by knee-high white lilies. Many believe these flowers were the white spidery blooms of Hymenocallis liriosme. Berlandier wrote of many interesting aspects of life in Texas in the mid 1850's, such as foot long fresh water prawns from the rivers taken to open markets in San Antonio in wooden wheel barrows. Alas, abundant foot long fresh water prawns in Texas rivers can no longer be found. However, the botanical displays of these white spider lilies have persisted and can still be enjoyed today! Drive county roads in April, and you could find yourself in the middle of these spectacular beauties. We're excited to offer them to our customers!

You will receive small to medium bulbs in this special offer. The bulbs were harvested from our wet spring soil so be prepared for them to look this way. The best thing that you can do is to plant them as soon as possible in conditions similar to their native environment - somewhere wet right now that will be dry this summer. We know that this means digging in the mud, but you are doing this for the bulbs and for the beautiful stand that you will have in the future!

The only floss I'll use
I bought this floss at a last attempt to fix my dental habits. Other floss tends to cut at my gums, or be too thin to even do anything. I was attracted to Burst because of the "expanding" technology and the fact it was a reusable container. Like other reviewers said, I had a hard time putting the bobbin in at first but after looking it up it was fine. The packaging also included instructions on how to floss which is helpful for people who need to brush up (lol) on their skills. Pros: The flavor is a nice, traditional mint. I like that the string is black so you can see plaque. The floss is a nice, grabby texture that really pulls items out from your gums and holds onto them. Cons: Not too happy about the price and refill price compared to other floss, but it's worth it to me if it means flossing regularly!

Nice dispenser, great floss
Review for BURST Refillable Dental Floss Dispenser Set - Juniper Berry Scent Nice work, BURST! You may have gained a return buyer with this floss. I purchased this solely for the refillable dispenser. On that end, I'm very happy. The dispenser is pretty easy to fill, and very easy to use (once filled). I didn't see many other floss dispensers on the market, but I'm very pleased with BURST's. I've been very happy with my previous floss (Dr. Tung) and I wasn't looking for a change. But since this dispenser comes with floss, I tried it out and I am super impressed. It has a lot in common with the Dr. Tung floss: it has the woven, cloth-like feel that expands when it goes through your teeth. I find that BURST floss feels slightly thicker than other floss, but not so thick that I have any difficulty moving it between teeth. I haven't had any shredding or breaking issues with the BURST floss. The flavor is very mild and refreshing. If you're looking for a refillable floss dispenser, I recommend BURST.

Floss leaves mouth super clean!
I’ve been really irritated by tooth paste co’s dental floss products either being too small/not lasting very long or too waxy/sticky, too minty so I searched for better dental floss and found it with BURST CHARCOAL FLOSS! The floss is black/coated by charcoal and has a smooth non sticky feel to it with a nice subtle mint flavor. Putting the bobbin in the refillable container (another plus reusing container) was slightly tricky because it doesn’t pop off easily and instructions were somewhat vague. After watching a Burst video on YouTube, you turn the container upside down & squeeze the edges w/ tabs & it pops off. The bobbin that came with the kit looks smaller than the pix, we’ll see how long it last. Actual flossing was great, the floss really flattens or expands as it’s pulled between teeth. The floss being black shows and cleans even more gunk from between teeth/gums leaving mouth fresh and super clean. It’s exactly what I was looking for, I highly recommend this product. Only drawback is the smallish size of initial bobbin, took one off star but that can be remedied by Burst co, should more ppl agree & comment. Happy flossing!

I love this case. It’s functional and very pretty.
I found out that the dental floss I’d been using for years is coated in PFAS and other forever chemicals, so I switched to brand that didn’t have any of that. The obvious upside is that I don’t have to worry about those chemicals anymore and get great expanding floss, but the floss comes in a paper case. That case is functional, but I floss and brush a few times a day so I knew that I wanted something that was more durable. I saw this case and fell in love when I saw it and after a couple months of using it, I’m still in love with it. It’s easy to refill, durable and so pretty. Overall just frustration free. It adds a special touch to my flossing routine and elevates that experience for me. The floss that comes with it is great too. It was my first time using charcoal floss and I liked it. I kind of wish they offered the case in a variety of colors as a standalone item, so I can chose my own floss (or a mix to try out the different flavors), but that’s not a big deal and for take away from anything.

A better floss
The wife loves this. It does remove more plaque than other floss. Its woven so it appears to grab more gunk and plaque. It is also thicker so it fits tighter between the teeth. Good product and worth the $. Would recommend.
