stems. One umbel can produce as many as 20 flowers. Flowers are white
with a slight greenish tinge, the tepals are curled backwards at
flowering time. The flower tube is 7.5-10 cm long, shorter than that of
Beach Spider Lily, which are 14-18
cm long. Showy Spider Lily is native to Bahamas, Cuba, widely
cultivated in the Tropical world.
