Sorry it's a little blurry.
In case you are not from around here....this is a hurricane lily . I don't know their proper name. They are called Hurricane lilies because they bloom for one week during hurricane season. Most people consider them weeds, these days. They are kind of old fashioned. I love them. They are extremely hardy. Meaning they will grow anywhere. They have been known to grow and bloom when sitting on a little dirt on concrete. Of course they will not grow in my yard. My yard is some sort of a gardening black hole. Things that should grow will not. When my husband and I were first married I planted a hundred of these bulbs. They came up that first year and never again :(

That rug is great too. You're going to be busy with your sewing machine for Christmas.
Have you tried getting a cutting or a division from a neighbor's plant? Sometimes the ones you purchase are a slightly different sub-species than the ones you see in other's yards. Love the elephant ear, we have two big ones in our yard. They don't die back though.

I'm not sure you can buy Hurricane Lilies... The ones I had were from someone's yard who didn't want them. I knew they should have grown. Hurricane Lilies are bulbs, I don't know if they will grow from a cutting. Seriously, my yard is a black hole. The only thing it likes is Day Lilies, Lantan, and Walking iris.
