Thanks Luc !

No - they are in pots -outside of my greenhouse -but protectet from rain .
In winter they are in my greenhouse ( together with my cacti ).
I made this pics always in my garden -before some rocks - to give them a touch of "natural habit" !

Hi Hans, I always thought that "rain lilies", as the members of genus Zephyranthes are commonly known, flowers in summer after a good rain. Do you know other rain lilies that bloom in spring?
Your collection of Amaryllidaceae is really stunning!

Alberto ,

I'm surprised - my "rainlilies" start always in this time and flowering the whole summer until September ....
we had in last days a lot of rain and now the temperatures rise ....

My common pink Zephyranthes seem to herald rain in autumn here in South Australia. Only about 3 flowers this last autumn as it was so very dry.

Hans,

Very, very nice.  I love that Argentinian species.... great form and depth of colour to it.  It almost looks an egg yolk yellow rather than the lemony colours?

Haylockia is something I've never heard of before.  Looks a bit like a cross between a Crocus and a Zephyranthes.  Very special!!!!  8)

Thank you Paul  8)

Maybe you can have later seeds of the argentian species - Z. longistyla has produced fruits !
the other ( unnamed ) makes no seeds -I suppose it is all the same clone

I regret it with Haylockia -but this plants makes until today never seeds ...and the multiplication is very slow ( but I'm happy that this plant life here .....)

In my eyes are they much prettier than all Crocus ....but dont tell it Thomas  ;D ;D ;D

Hans!!  That's akin to blasphemy!!!!  :o :o ;)  I won't tell Thomas, but can't guarantee he won't read it here himself!  ;D

I really must look up Haylockia and see what I can find out.  Looking at your pics at first glance it really does look like a Crocus with that outer colouration etc.  Definitely worth keeping an eye out for in the future if I ever come across it.  What sort of size is the plant and the flowers?

Paul : dont worry ....Thomas will never read any threads about Zephyranthes :P

Good luck for your search for Haylockia .....here in Europe is it ( I believe so ) not aviable !!

To your question : the size of this plants ( flowers and leaves ) is really similar to a small Crocus ....
