Swamp Lily or String Lily
Crinum pedunculatum
30.5231, -86.4975
Field Notes
Description:
It has beautiful white flowers with pink and yellow. The leaves look like an Agapanthus that I have, but these flowers are different.
Habitat:
This Lily was in the flooded (at that moment) swamp and flood plains that are on either side of Turkey Creek, a spring fed creek that was sweet tea brown in the middle depths, and honey color in the shallows where the white sand was present, and jet black where it was either deep or covered in broken down leaves and stuff from trees.
Notes:
I only saw this one Lily on the entire section I walked. Niceville, Florida has a nice nature area board walked off along Turkey Creek. It has a few spots for swimming and jumping in and floating down to the next landing. The water is spring fed, and has runoff. They no longer allow boats to go up it.
