Zephyranthes stellatorosea Acanthus Agave utahensis sspThis is the first commercial offering of the 2015 published rain lily, Zephyranthes stellatorosea, discovered in 1961, in both Puebla and Hidalgo, Mexico. For us, it's one of the earliest flowering species we've grown, starting usually in early April. It resembles the pink flowered Zephyranthes macrosiphon, except for the prominent white throat. For us, it grows to 10" tall. Our plants are propagated from the original Walter Flory Ray Flagg collection.
