Last one today from Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet, SC. It was growing in a field near a pond, not in an actual garden, if that helps. If you notice the ones behind the main one there's a pink tint to the petals. I believe those are older flowers, where this one had only bloomed recent...not sure if that helps either. Thank you for any an all help!!

I don't know Lilies but it looks like Lily (Lilium candidum) to me. Hopefully others who grow that one will be along with confirmation.

Dont think it's a lilium nor a crinum. The flower has the wrong stigma.

Thanks Calin ... hopefully someone will be able to identify it. I wonder if it could be an Amaryllis ?

Hopefully someone will recognize it before long and give an ID.

That stigma not belongs to Lilium. And that stamen also not belongs to Amaryllis. Remind me to Zephyranhus or Cyrtanthus.

Hmm.... let me think for awhile Smiling

Yes. They look so close to Zephyranthes. But i still confuse about the stamen. It looks longer than common rain lily. And that pinkish colors. Maybe a hybrid ?

Searching on internet, i think the closest species with that long stamen is Zephyranthes atamasca.

Just to make sure, Dawne, can you tell us how tall the plant is ? Flower size ? Is the flower come singly on each scape or some flower together at single scape ?

I am sorry to make you all confuse too... Confused

I don't know one from the other but Dawne's flower sure is pretty whichever Rain Lily it might be.

It was a single flower on each tall stem. Some blooms were close to the ground, but others came up tall not quite to my knees. And the pink wasn't a prominent as that Argentine Rain Lily. It was just a very slight tint of it. It seemed like the older blooms had it more then the newer ones. And they are very white white white.

Me not being an expert on flowers have probably a crazy question...the petals on the Zephyranthes candida (I did look at the photos of that flower) are mostly turned up, the ones in my photo are turned down. Does that make a difference? Hope that doesn't make me sound completely loony about this!! hee hee

Its the Rain Lily population in that location. There are subtle differences between populations but they always have certain characteristics. In this case, the give-away for me was the bright orange/yellow stamens and the white Pistil coming up on the outside of the stamens.

It would help (at least me) if you could also show photos of the leaves and give us an idication of size. I think the ID of this plant would have come faster with that information.

Loving your photos, though.
