Hard to tell exactly which one is in your photo. If they don't set seed it is probably Zephyranthes candida. The seem to spread by underground runners (stolon) here in FL. Never seen one with a seed pod.

I call them the Crocus of the South. Many different color and hybrids.

Here are some very expensive bulbs from a grower - http://www.plantdelights.com/Catalog/Current/page103.html

My photo below shows tall pink Habranthus and short white Zephyranthes.
