After all of this rain we have gotten, these single-shoot wild flowers have popped up out of nowhere by the thousands. I mean, they are everywhere! Does anyone know what they might be?

Pretty flowers! Crinum Lily maybe?

Or maybe Rain Lily?
Fairy Lily (Zephyranthes drummondii)
Traub's Rain Lily (Zephyranthes traubii)

We always called them Rain Lilies.

Thanks everyone! I have lived here for almost 3 years, and we have had plenty of rain over that period, yet these beauties have never popped up! What a random, curious beauty. It makes the field across the way a lot more eye-pleasing!

Rain Lilies as in.... Zephyranthes Candida? Common names are such a pain. They don't look like Zephyranthes Candida.

I wonder if my database photos for Rain Lily (Zephyranthes candida) are correct, they don't look like others in that entry.

Your photo for Zephyranthes candida is right. I got stuck on common names.

My flowers look different to my eyes than some of those at the same database entry; petals on my flowers look short and broad compared to others and the blooms on mine always show more pink than others in the database but I guess it could all be due to location, growing conditions etc.


My plants:

Lin, yours looks like Amaryllis. belladonna, maybe?

(Cooperia pedunculata)—Appears like magic a few days after heavy rains, sometimes in masses, across the eastern two-thirds of the state. Single white bloom atop a straight, foot-high green stem. Blossoms open slowly at dusk, gradually expand during the night, in full flower by morning. Flowers may last up to four days be-fore turning pinkish and withering. Delicate, lovely fragrance. The smaller evening star rain lily (Cooperia drummondii) tends to bloom in late summer and fall, while the larger rain lily blooms in spring and early summer.

I do believe RJ nailed it. Cooperia pedunculata is a synonym for Fairy Lily (Zephyranthes drummondii)

My plants:

Lin, yours could be Zephyranthes libra:
Rain Lily (Zephyranthes 'Libra')
Then again, they could be Habranthus robustus
Argentine Rain Lily (Zephyranthes robusta)
BTW, the image you see by GoneTropical looks quite different in color form the images I posted BUT GoneTropical sent me the bulbs from hers so location & conditions can make quite a difference in color.
