Zephyranthes rosea
ABOUT RAIN LILY
Zephryanthes is a genus of about 70 species in the Amaryllidaceae (amaryllis family) native to southern North America, Central America, and South America, with common names including rain flower, rain lily, and zephyr lily (the closely related Habranthus also has the common name rain lily). One of the most common of these tender bulbs is the pink rain lily, Z. grandiflora (=Z. carinata, and often incorrectly listed as Z. rosea - which is really a Cuban species with much smaller flowers - or Z. robusta - which is a synonym of H. robustus, a Brazilian species with smaller, paler flowers on taller scapes) from Northern Mexico to Guatemala. In mild climates, pink rain lily is used as a landscape plant for its attractive foliage and big flowers but in the Midwest it is frequently relegated to container culture since it is only hardy in zones 7-10 and is easy to grow in pots.
