My Pink Rain Lily

Pink Rain Lily or Fairy Lily (Pink Bua Din in Thai.)
Several of the zephyr lilies (genus Zephyranthes) are called "rain lily", but this one most deserves that name: Zephyranthes grandiflora blooms numerous times throughout the summer and autumn, always after a rain that follows a dry period. Atamasco lily ( Z. atamasca ), on the other hand, blooms only once each year, in the early spring. Other members of the genus bloom in spring or autumn only.
