I get a lot of email about rain lilies and probably the most asked question is the differences between the Zephyranthes and Habranthus species. There are many, most not very interesting to the average grower. One very obvious differnce is size. Size of both blooms and leaves. Habranthus species tend to be quite a bit larger and more robust growers. The flower form is what most people would notice.

Again, these photo's were quickly taken during rest breaks. Notice the 'nodding' form of the funnel shaped flowers of these Habranthus martinezii blooming today.
