Rain-lilies: Cooperia, Habranthus, Zephyranthes, etc.2016
« on: January 08, 2016, 05:39:18 AM »
We had rain a few days ago so rain-lilies are out again:
Zephyranthes 'Grandjax'
Habranthus martinezii x H. robustus - this is the clone we have available "commercially"
Habranthus martinezii x H. robustus 'Russell Manning' which I raised myself
Habranthus martinezii x2

A well-named plant; they look stunning. Well grown too.

Yesterday I noticed a bloom on this seedling of a Zephyranthes called 'Bangkok Yellow' which has the same parentage as 'Ajax' (Z.candida x citrina, I think). Simon or Chris in Bulgaria sent me the seed a few years ago and I had a flower last year which looked a bit paler,

I got these zephs a few years ago labelled as "Lemon Rain-lilies" - when they flowered I thought they looked just the same as regular Zephyranthes candida.
Today they do look a bit lemony - or is that just wishful thinking?

Same here Fermi
For me it is just a selling trick or somebody who drunk one to much and started hallucinating for he named it  ;D

Only just noticed that Zephyranthes 'Ajax' has been in flower, so they look a bit tired in this pic!
Zephyranthes candida is also doing well,

Very nice Fermi. They wouldn't do nearly as well as yours, if at all, in my conditions.

David,
They can take a lot warmer climate than where I live as well - we saw Z.candida flowering in winter in Goa a few years ago!
A month after the initial burst of bloom, the Zephyranthes candida put on another show yesterday

I'm trying to set up a Dropbox site for copies of botanical articles on rain lilies, especially the original descriptions.  Is there a way to show those files here or to upload to this site?  I'm not really sure what the best way is to share a lot of files, some PDF format and other as scanned images of the paper format.

Any suggestions?

It seems Dropbox files can be shared publicly,( that is by those not having a dropbox account), by using a link ... https://www.dropbox.com/help/167

https://techwalla.com/content/create-public-dropbox

 I must say such a shared resource would be a great idea, Jim - thanks for working on this.

Thanks, Maggi!

OK, let's see how this works.  I scanned in the 10 pages of an article by Thad Howard and Scot Ogden in HERBERTIA 1990 and placed the scanned image files (one page per file) in Dropbox:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4uzkxn8c6oufjdg/AACPxHgNzSBBmbvQEHmOVYXOa?dl=0

I hope you can access those image files. I have a nice little collection of PDFs and scanned images for a number of original descriptions of various species of Habranthus and Zephyranthes.   Please let me know the results on this.

Jim

I can open and read those, Jim. And could download them too, if I wished.

Thanks Maggi, that's great.  I'll start uploading some of the files I have accumulated on Zephyranthes and Habranthus.
