The next to start blooming was Zephyranthes grandiflora (5/8)--probably the most popular of the pinks. This species was first identified by Lindley in 1825 and is native to Guatemala and Hondurus. It is probably the most popular large 4" wide and 12" high blooming rose-pink rain lily seen naturalized in southern gardens. Zephyranthes grandiflora begins blooming in mid-May; with glossy, light green leaves. Recommended for growing in zones 7-10. Had to get this one at almost dark to get a decent pic.
