Hello all!
I found this flower in DeFuniak Springs, FL. They were part of the landscaping provided by the city. However, I contacted the city and they could not tell me what the flower was called or where to find it. So...I am asking for help. The foliage is closely related to amarylis or daffodil, just much smaller. The blooms are lilly like and start out pinker around the edges and turn more white as they mature. The blooms are about 3" to 4" long and about 3" wide when open. The stems have a dark purple "skin" just below the bloom and the remaining stem/foliage is green. I'm sure it is a bulb of some sort, but I have not dug them up. Any help out there?
Thanks a bunch!
Smiles,
Jennifer
