We got this as Habranthus brachyandrus though I wonder if it's actually the hybrid between it and H. robustus :-\

Lost label but I think this is one of the hybrids raised from crossing Habranthus martinezii and H. robustus,

Perhaps the most common "rain-lily" seen in Australia:
Zephyranthes candida

Zephyranthes 'Grandjax' flowering at the base of a rock bed. These have grown from a bulb that must've been scratched out of the bed above by our local echidna a few years ago!

Nice to see some of these now that our season has finished.
Especially like the Zeph Katherina rubrum, Rimmer!
