The Spider Lily at Walking Track Side - Gardening and Hobby 56

Saturday, October 5, 2024
The category 2 hurricane Francine with speed 96 to 110 mph (154 to 177 km/hours), made landfall in our state Louisiana in the last September 2024.

Hurricane Francine caused significant flooding in our state. The storm inflicted moderate damage before rapidly weakening into a tropical storm, and then a tropical depression when reached another state, Mississippi.

Surprisingly, we saw Spider lilies popped out on the day after Francine went through. "Mother Nature" has pretty good timing.

In addition to Spider lily, the plant has other names:
- Hurricane lily
- Naked lady

They are called as Naked ladies; it is because the flower head is obvious any foliage. Their colors also in yellow and pink.

  2. Oh, the plains are in drought conditions at the moment with lots of fire danger with the hot winds. I am not familiar with this plant. Thanks for the beautiful photos.
