Spider Lilly

Common name: Spider lily, Beach spider lily

These flowers were in a pot.  I thought they would look prettier if they were planted in the soil.  A bunch of them would look so pretty.  The lovely white flowers have long narrow reflexed petals behind a central cup. Stamen filaments are green, and narrow petals .

Botanical name: Hymenocallis littoralis       Family: Amaryllidaceae (Nargis family)
 
Was photographed by Sa at Orbit Mall, Hyderabad.
