Zephyranthes 
Fairy Lily 
A race of summer and fall blooming amaryl- 
lids native to the New World. They are 
small, grassy leaved plants which bear stems 
with single flowers. Most of them will 
flower several times a year is alternately wet and 
dry conditions are given. In Texas where 
some of them grow native they are called 
rain lilies because they bloom during the 
summer after each rainfall. Of course one 
can not overdo a good thing because if they 
are watered once a week one can not expect 
them to bloom weekly. However it can be 
done three or four times during the season. 
They respond well to pot culture. In cold 
climates they can be lifted and stored during 
the winter. Delivery anytime.
