Description

Zephyranthes grandiflora, commonly called Zephyr lily or rain lily, is native to southern Mexico and Central America. Large, pink, open-faced, lily-like flowers (to 4-) with white throats bloom in summer. Flowers appear singly atop upright stems rising 10-12- tall above a tuft of outward-spreading, narrow, green, strap-shaped leaves. Flowers flatten out as the day progresses, eventually closing in the evening.
