Cahaba Lily / Shoal Lily - Hymenocallis coronaria

Endemic to Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina, the Cahaba lily only grows in shallow, running water. It is threatened by dam construction along its native waterways.

Bathed in Golden Hour - 1055 by J & W Photography Via Flickr: Facebook | FAA It will soon be that time of a year again for the Cahaba wild waterlilies. However we won't be here that time of this year due to another trip scheduled ahead. So we would like to share a photo of the waterlilies taken last year. Hope you enjoy. For your interest, below is the information about the Cahaba River waterlilies: From early May to late June, the shoals of the Cahaba River are transformed into a showcase of floral delight as the rare Cahaba Lily blooms. Found only in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina; the Cahaba Lily requires swift current and direct sunlight to flourish. The plant grows to about 3' tall and develops from a bulb that lodges in between rocks in the shoals. It flowers from roughly between Mother's Day and Father's Day. Each delicate, lightly fragranced flower blooms for one day.

Found a little crinoid stem that definitely didn’t remind me of anything. It was a bit cold so give him a break.
