Hi Bracey,

We got a bit of rain out of the front a little north of you. At
least it
generated some brown water for the barrels that collect water from
the roof
even if it only the surface of the ground got wet otherwise. And
I too
have Zephyranthes candida in bloom. But I've found it always
blooms this
time of the year for me. Alberto told us it grows along rivers
and in
marshes where it gets year round rainfall except for a brief
period in late
summer after which it blooms. Mine are growing in a large
container with a
Meyer lemon so that they get year round water. The best bloom I
ever had
was one year when I was gone in late summer and the person
watering for us
didn't water the lemon tree very much. It lost a lot of leaves,
but didn't
die and we got massed bloom from the Zephyranthes when we returned
and
stepped up the water. I don't know about Zephyranthes flavissima
which
isn't pictured on the wiki either.
