I think it is the crinum americanum. It has a large stem with multiple flowers. Each flower has 6 petals. It has been growing in my pond since the summer of 2010 and I now have at least two bulbs. It bloomed last year, but we were out of town and saw only seed pods when we returned. The flowers have been beautiful up until we had temperatures in the mid thirties and a cold wind Saturday, Nov 24. The water temperature is also quite chilly now, too. Thanks to all who helped to ID the plant!!

How tall is the plant? does it produce one flower per stem or a large stem that branches into multiple flowers? If it does it could be crinum americanum, which is also native to florida.

Looks like crinum. I’ve read that there are varieties that are native to Georgia rivers. Beautiful pond plant! I want an off-set for my pond!

If this is growing in a garden pond would this be Zephyranthes atamasco? From the Floridata site regarding Zephyranthes atamasco “These lovely lilies grow well in shade to part shade to full sun. Moisture: Atamasco lilies like a low, damp location, but won’t survive if the soil is constantly water logged.”

I have rain lilies and this does not look like the rain lilies. The petals are more narrow on this plant than the rain lily.

This is a “rain lily” – Zephyranthes atamasco. Buck
