The first rain-lilies for the year have been forms of Habranthus tubispathus.
Here's the pink form today
cheers

fermi de Sousa:
This is a hybrid I raised by crossing 'Russell Manning' (which I think is a form of Habranthus robustus) and Habranthus martinezii which I call 'Redesdale Star'
cheers

Robert:
Hi Fermi,

Nice looking hybrid.

A few of my F1 Zephyranthes hybrids bloomed last year and I hope more will bloom this coming season. I have a limited gene pool to work with, however I think there is enough genetic variability where something interesting will show up in the F2 generations. This is still a few years down the road.

Anyway, thank you for sharing the photographs. I look forward to seeing some of your other species and hybrids as they come into bloom.

fermi de Sousa:
Well, finally a few more rain-lilies! Presumably due to the 14mm of rain last week!
Firstly Habranthus martinezii
cheers
fermi

fermi de Sousa:
Zephyranthes 'Grandjax' is a hybrid between 'Ajax' (Z. candida x Z. citrina) x Z. grandiflora
cheers
fermi
