My terrace garden is bursting with Rain Lilies!
The wonderful monsoon season has caused a riot of colors...
Rain lilies bloom usually a few days after a rain
The flowering cycle can be artificially triggered by leaving them dry for a week. Water them a bit later and up they come.
Care should be taken with the plants since many of the parts, leaves, bulbs etc. are currently considered toxic.
Common Names: fairy lily, rainflower, zephyr lily, magic lily, Atamasco lily, and rain lily.
Binomial Name: Zephyranthes

Lovely Photographs :)
ReplyDeleteI know rainlilies and i find them cute. I wonder why i am not planting them. I can see them flowering year round here too.
ReplyDeleteThey are just beautiful, Shiju. Today in Mumbai, the rain is so intense, I can't even see the Arabian Sea in the distance. The crows are grounded but I can hear them cawing in the distance. Talk about a deluge. I think we need to start building an arc.
ReplyDeleteExcellent shots of these beautiful flowers.

I have put them in pots and they act so pricy to bloom you know?

Agree. It's a joy once they start blooming in abundance in the rainy season. By watering once in ten days I get them to bloom throughout the year.

I like your site, beautiful pictures and good information. DO you ever trade plant?
Michael
Thanks. I have a small terrace garden. Gardening is just a hobby, never thought about trading.
DeleteHi Shiju,
ReplyDeleteYou should give the Pink Oxblood Lilies a try, they do well in containers as long as they get water.
