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 sev- 
eral times a year if alternately wet and dry 
conditions are given. In Texas where some of 
them grow native they are called rain lilies be- 
cause they bloom during the summer after each 
tainfall. Of course one can overdo a goo 
thing because if they are watered once a week 
one can not expect them to bloom weekly. How- 
ver 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 dur- 
ing the winter. Delivery anytime.
