Pink Rainlily
Zephyranthes grandiflora

Field Notes
Description:
Blooms numerous times throughout the summer and autumn, always after a rain that follows a dry period.
Shortly after a summer rain, the rain lily produces a single maroon lipstick-like bud atop a hollow 7 in (17 cm) flowering stem, known technically as a "scape." Within a day or two the bud opens to produce a lovely rose-pink flower about 3 in (7.5 cm) long with six petals spreading about 3 in (7.5 cm) across. The flowers last a few days, closing up at night. The grasslike leaves that emerge from the underground bulb are strap shaped and about 10-12 in (25-30 cm) long.
Habitat:
Wildlife habitat yard.
