Carol, spiders are a type/form of daylily. Siloam is a name of a series of daylilies by the late hybridizer Henry. She had ons of daylilies called Siloam, Siloam is the name of her town I believe. I hope this helps. You can look up some of her daylilies by going to Inker's dayliliy data base. I wish I could leave a link for you but I really don't know how. Just put that in your search engine and when you get to the page, put Siloam in the search bar... I hope this helps....Ellie

Mori, I googled both the St. Christopher (crinum) amaryllidaceae, and the Lily of the Nile. Backyard Gardener says the St. Christopher is only hardy in zones 9a-ll, and the Lily of the Nile in zones 9-10. I am in WV. I say I'm on the border of zones 5/6 as some hardiness maps say I'm in 5 and some say 6. I'm not really familiar with Lily of the Nile. I have seen a lot of crinums for sale on eBay and they can be quite expensive. If I were considering leaving a "tender" bulb in the ground for the winter, I would consider how much I paid for it and decide whether I wanted to take the chance on losing it if it didn't come back. If you decide to leave them in the ground, you should definitely plant them deeper than normally and mulch them. I have left dahlias and glads in the ground over the winter before and they just turned to mush, but they were only planted a couple of inches deep. However, there are a few people in my area who leave theirs in the ground and they come back. I'm sure theirs are planted much deeper. There are also a couple of people I know who leave callas in the ground all winter and they come back. I have several different dahlias. I like your idea of leaving one or two in the ground (that I have duplicates of) and seeing what happens. I will plant these deeper next spring and just leave them in the ground and mulch them. I have so many dahlias, it is really a hassle getting them dug up and storing them for the winter. It would be great to be able to leave them in the ground. Good luck. Please give us an update in the spring if you decide to leave your bulbs in the ground. Thanks. Charlotte

The spring blooming species(with foliage) and the yellow center is Hymenocallis liriosme. I must admit that I have not noticed those to be fragrant though. The fall flowering ones on naked stems are likely Hymenocallis occidentalis(syn: H. caroliniana). They can bloom anytime from mid-summer to early fall, after the foliage dies down. None of mine have put up any bloom stems yet, although the foliage has died down.Both of these native species are found in NW LA. My H. liriosme came from a late dear friend near El Dorado, AR. Rb

Hi Chris, Yes, I love tropical would like to see pictures. I have some orchid lillies, white purple, and some fancy hybiscus. Hope they can take the cold temps. In Feb freeze, turned black stems, but came back.. I now have very curled leaves. My hydrangea is black branches, gardenia, half black, some new leaves, will see how it does. Karen B
