>>There's a bunch of kinds of Spider Lily, but in these parts, Lycoris
radiata is the main one. I photograph them every year, because they are so
hard to shoot, I never seem to get the perfect shot of them.
>>>I understand they are called the Hurricane Lily in Florida, because they
bloom at the height of hurricane season. That makes sense, because they
seem to bloom right after heavy rains. The flowers have no seeds, and grow
from bulbs; they're just here to be pretty. They grow across the South, (I
see they do pretty well in Tennessee,) and are originally native to Japan.

Hi Sonny,
Now if I could be assured the xv&%#@****!!!! *#*# dag nab deer wouldn't eat
them and they wont create any hurricanes in this part of the world, I'd
plant a bunch of these beauties! Then I could shoot my photo brains out
having fun with them. Very intriguing photo subjects.
Not to forget a very interesting photo!
