A year of Rain lilies

Houston, TX(Zone 9a)

Those are all so pretty. I had some at my last home and they always surprised me when they bloomed. I'd forget about them, and then they'd pop back up. I love them all, but haven't put in any at my new location yet. An oversight I'll have to correct! Please do keep udating with pics as others bloom. I love to see them.

One of our favorite hybrids here:
Zephyranthes x ‘Capricorn’

This is a Thad Howard hybrid; and out of all of his hybrids, is probably my favorite. 'Capricorn' is a particularly interesting and unusual hybrid because it is a beautiful free-flowering orange-red variety, which also rapidly multiplies. It begins blooming in early June. Some say this is the same variety as 'Sunset Strain'; ours is definitely not the same. Recommended for growing in zones 8-9.

Thanks crowelli...I have about 2 or 3 more to go but daughter is kicking me off computer to deal with her website and I have a dental appointment at 1--lucky me. I am going to try to make it to make it to your party if business travel does not interfere. I will post the others tonight.
