Zephyranthes, Habranthus, Rhodophiala, etc. 2012
« on: January 03, 2012, 08:29:31 AM »
Hello,

I got the seeds of this plant as Zephyranthes aurea in 2007.
The Z. aurea is a synonym of Habranthus tubuspathus or my plant is misnamed?

Thank you in advance

All the fancy names are worthless: H. tubispathus is the most frequently grown of all rainlilies. There are a dozen variants or so and some really striking.

Hi Pál Kovács,
your plant certainly looks like Habranthus tubispathus, which as Alberto has pointed out turns up under a variety of names ::)
I've posted some pics of more rain-lilies here:http://www.srgc.org.uk/forum/index.php?topic=8287.0

I've just had it flower from seed labelled Rhodophiala araucana! Foolishly I keep ordering it from the seedexes! Maybe one day it's trun out to be true!

As have I, labelled Rhodphiala cw BCM (from two sources) as I recall so presumably the same donor.

Maggi, perhaps "Zephyranthes, Habranthus, Rhodophiala, etc., 2012" will make it to avoid one thread for each.

a mixed thread for these "internamed" plants! ... as suggested by Ezeiza
