| Posted by SongofJoy (Clarksville, TN - Zone 6b) on Mar 18, 2012 3:52 PM This is the large-flowered traditional pink rain lily. The flowers are borne on stalks about 6-8 inches above the grass-like foliage. It blooms from spring through summer. Summer storms can trigger massive blooms three to five days after the storm has passed. [ Reply to this comment | |
