New Zephyranthes hybrids on the wiki

We do grow them in our San Jose dry garden but they don't get very big and
spreading like the photo.  Some shade, a little extra water works.  A large
pink one is blooming right now.  The clumps get a foot across and we haven't
dug them for several years.

Cheers,

Fadjar Marta, a Zephyranthes breeder in Indonesia, shared some photos of his
growing operation and some recent unnamed hybrids.  We've posted them to the
wiki here:

(Scroll down to see his photos; they are below the table of named hybrids.)

I am especially impressed by the pictures of his growing fields.  They make
me wish I could grow Zephyranthes easily here in San Jose!
