Hans, I am sure that Thomas will agree with me that your lovely Zephyranthes macrosyphon is, in fact, a rare and beautiful pink crocus ;) 8)

Hi Hans, I always thought that "rain lilies", as the members of genus Zephyranthes are commonly known, flowers in summer after a good rain. Do you know other rain lilies that bloom in spring?

Alberto, Zephyranthes atamasco blooms anytime from mid-winter to early spring in its native range (southeastern North America).

OK, you doubting Thomases, here are two Zephyranthes relatives from my garden: Hymenocallis liriosme (blooming today) and Sprekelia formosissima (blooming about a month ago). Both are currently grown here as pot plants, but both have survived winters here in the past in protected sites.

Hard to believe, isn't it, that Sprekelia has been grown in European gardens since the sixteenth century!
