Southern Texas Mystery Plant
Posted on June 30th, 2008 by James
Ok - our favorite game around here, Name That Plant. My Mom & Stepdad were in the Beaumont, TX area this past week and she said these plants where growing in the bar-ditches along the road. I am not sure if she snatched one up or just wanted to know so she could buy one at a later date - but she sent an email asking if our group could help figure this one out.
So put on your gardening/plant identifying/master hats and help a sista (my Mom) out. Check the pic below… if you have other questions, just leave them in the comments and I will make sure the Mother tries to answer them as quickly as possible, if possible. Thanks in advance.
Being an Oklahoma blogger, I’m not sure, but I bet the Austin bloggers would know. Ask Pam @ Digging or Cindy @ My Corner of Katy or Bill @ Prairie Point or maybe MSS @ Zanthan Gardens. They are great help in this area. Sorry, don’t have the time to get the urls, but if you google them, you’ll find them.~~Dee
@Dee - thanks for the info, no links needed. We will try hitting them up for some answers.
Thanks for the help!
I THINK the flower is a spider lily. They are very abundant in ditches. If I could see the top of it better I could tell you for sure.
The tree looks good. Good Job!!
