hmmm - are the 'spider lilies' we see growing in clumps on road sides also known as 'hurricane' lilies? They are very similar to the Peruvian Daffodil but don't have the trumpet like throat of the PD. Come to think of it, I've never seen seed pods on my spider lilies or my crinum. However, they DO reproduce bulblets like crazy!

Cora, are you thinking of Crinum pedunculatum? That is a different plant - leaves grow pointed and upright. Overall it is a much "tougher"-looking plant. They are planted all over by the city at the beach. Link to images below.

Peruvian daffodils are softer and more gentle-looking. They have leaves similar to an amaryllis or agapanthus.

Since they are so prolific, do you need to save all of them? I would just use a bit of Roundup on the ones in places I didn't want them growing, instead of going to so much trouble to dig them up. I do this all the time. A q-tip dipped in Roundup & touched to the severed stem is all you need.

C pendunculatum is also known as Swamp Lilly, but the ones so prolific in my garden are hymenocallis littoralis - also known as spider lily. The membrane between the long petals is the difference. By the way, I'm going to have to dig up a bunch of them this fall - any takers???
