Spider Lilies, or Swamp Lilies–take your pick. I’ve heard them called both and a Google search finds an overwhelming number of variations on each name.
I do not know if these particular ones naturalized on their own around the swamp or if they were planted. The flowers are short lived, especially in the heat, and it is a delight to spot them in fresh bloom.

They look so lovely! Do they have any fragrance?
No fragrance that I’ve noticed, Liz. Certainly not that strong musky one that many lilies seem to share. Next time I see one I’m going to check further — maybe it is more delicate and needs a close up sniff.
How pretty!
