Hard to say which it is Ann, there's a few which look much the same so an educated guess is the best I can do.

Hymenocallis littoralis looks a good contender, it has similar drooping tepals, has several flowers per stem and is a warm climate species. Is yours evergreen? Comparing the habit and length of the sepals as well as the size and shape of the corolla it seems to fit best but I can't be certain.

It looks to be one which is commonly sold, along with H. x festalis ..

Janet, you did it again! I agree now that you found links so I can see the photos that it is H. littoralis. I tried & tried to get links for photos & could only find a few which didn't have nearly all of them. I don't know how you manage to get these links you do but I sure am glad!

Having the plant in my yard then I was able to look at the photos you provided links for & THEN it was easy to ID it.

Once again.... Janet Super Sleuth to the rescue!

I'll put it in the DB this evening.

Stay tuned ---- I have a complete mystery to me I will post this evening. Hilarious!
