Zephyranthes

What colour Zephyranthes flowers? If it is the white Z. Candida, mine
never get fertilised, are crowded like anything, have been in the same
place for years, and flower faithfully from January into April. They
would possibly be better spread out a bit more, but flopping flowers are
not the result.
This is Auckland New Zealand we are talking about. Hence different
seasons from yours. If the flowers flop, I wonder if there is something
else the matter. I have lots of different varieties of Zephyranthes and
none of them have ever flopped. Is there someone with more knowledge of
this who has any suggestions?
Temperatures have a lot of bearing on Rain lilies, and the amount of
sun, although even with that, the Z. Candida is very easy going. My
biggest clump hardly gets any sun.

Can someone provide some information for me regarding Zephyranthes (ran
lilies)? I purchased some a few years ago from a local K-Mart simply
because they were so cute! They rewarded me with many blooms for a few
years. This year they have just flopped and not done anything. Should they
be dug up and separated once in a while (are they too crowded and perhaps
that is why they do not bloom?) Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated!
