A couple of years ago, a kinetic Spider Lily sculpture by Susan Pascal Beran was placed on the New Bern waterfront. The first red spider lily in the US was brought to New Bern via ship from Japan by sea Captain Robert Williams in 1854. We bought five bulbs last year, and they are blooming! It's fascinating how a small garden success can brighten one's day.
