I was surprised to see these Habranthus tubispathus (pink and salmon-pink forms) in flower after only 0.6mm of rain last night! ???
Then I remembered that we had the sprinkler on this area a few days ago ;D

Habranthus brachyandrus, second flower this season - the first opened while I was away last month
cheers

I find it very difficult to make them bloom at home, probably because it rains too often..
Is it because they can not rest?
-
Hi Veronique,
I have been told that.
The pot had dried out earlier on before I started watering it.
Growing it in a pot means you can control when it gets water

Some Zephyranthes atamasco are blooming in the greenhouse. These bulbs were sent to me from Florida and North Carolina, and they occur in the coastal states of the Southeast. Mine grow from about January into early summer, spending the warm months outdoors and the cold months inside the greenhouse.

Also blooming right now, the first blooms, I think, on Zephyranthes huastecana. Seeds received from Brent Hine, UBC Botanical Garden, in October 2014. My number 2955. According to the old IBS web site, this species was named by Dr. Thad Howard. It has pink flowers, is somewhat hardy to cold (probably the cold in Texas anyway), and forms the largest bulb among rain lilies. Native to Mexico. The proper name may now be Zephyranthes lindleyana 'Horseshoe Falls.' Incidentally, some regular Z. lindleyana are blooming right now in the same greenhouse.

All lovely flowers but those Zephyranthes atamasco are just gorgeous!

I think I missed posting these when the plant actually bloomed this spring. This is Zephyranthes morrisclintii, from the state of Nuevo Leon in Mexico. It blooms early, and in my greenhouse here it was the first rainlily to bloom this spring. According to Thad Howard's book, "Bulbs for Warm Climates," it does not offset so must be propagated from seeds.

Zephranthes Drummondi San Carlos

Nice Paul, I've got the San Carlos form but it hasn't flowered for me yet. It is meant to be evening-fragrant, do you agree?
-
Gail - it’s very nicely scented indeed- sweet sharp and spicey. I have another drummondii too. One smells much stronger than the other but both smell great. I’ve got fresh seeds if you’d like some

I would indeed, yes please. I'll pm you.

Zephranthes Bangkok Yellow.
No scent that I could detect

Zephranthes Kings Ransom
I love the traffic light colours

I think I've seen Zephyranthes atamasco growing along roadside ditches in north Florida..is that likely?

Yes, it ranges from Florida to North Carolina to the northeast and to the Gulf Coast areas to the west

In my greenhouse in March this year

Some more rain lilies blooming in my greenhouse today. For instance, Zephyranthes insularum is found in the West Indies. According to Thad Howard's book ("Bulbs for Warm Climates") the species does not set seeds. Thad speculated that this may be because a separate clone is required to get fertilization.

Zephyranthes reginae is a pale yellow rain lily from valleys in tropical Mexico.
[attach=3] [attach=4]
Zephyranthes macrosiphon is also in bloom today, with one lone blossom.
[attach=5]
I am removing and throwing away bunches of rain lily seed pods that formed during the recent spell of 90+ degree (F) weather we had, when I did not set foot inside the greenhouse for a week, -- The greenhouse does have an automatic irrigation system.
Best to, all,
Jim

Some more rain lilies blooming in my greenhouse today. First, Habranthus caeruleus is blooming; a rare occurrence in my greenhouse to see caeruleus in flower.
Habranthus caeruleus, a "blue" rain lily. (This one came from Diana Chapman at Telos Rare Bulbs. This is my #2815.) The flower is about 1.5 inches (ca. 37 mm) in diameter, and the peduncle is about 10 inches (25 cm) high. According to Thad Howard in his book, "Bulbs for Warm Climates," it comes from Argentina (Entre Rios province) and Brazil (Parana and Santa Catarina states), where it is rare.

Tremendous selection of plants you are showing us, Jim!

Right, Maggi, and here is another one. This is Zephyranthes orellanae, a recently described species from the Yucatan Peninsula. These were sent to me by Jose Zaldivar, and this is my first bloom of this species. I'm quite excited about this one!

Very subtle and lovely colour!

This pot of Habranthus itaobinus seedlings grew from seeds from Mauro Peixoto in Brazil (my #2843), labelled 'Itaobi' by Mauro. A large pot of this in bloom might easily be mistaken for a pot of H. robustus.
[attach=1] [attach=2]
In the right-hand photo, the two pink flowers in the background are also H. itaobinus.

A few cool nights and the rain lilies are suddenly in flower.
This is Habranthus robustus which indeed looks much like H. itaobinus Jim.

It rained earlier this week so some rain lilies are in bloom again. These have been blooming after rain since May. Two pinks. Zeph macrosiphon on right and seedlings from the “Pink Beauty” on right. My guess is these are somewhat related
-
What has happened?
In 2017 I bought bulbs of Zephyranthes candida and they flowered in perfect white.
[attach=1]
Last year I don't remember. But this year they're flowering in light pink! Pink veins or pink tips.

Does anybody know this phenomene?

Sunset seed strain- very nice too

OK, guys, what is this one? It was listed by Mauro Peixoto about 4 years ago as his #MP13041, Zephyranthes sp. cf. citrina. I don't actually have a consistent example of citrina in my collection (!) (not funny) but I feel confident this one is not citrina. But what is it? This is my accession number 2997.

It is about the same size as some Habranthus robustus in near-by pots on the same bench.
