Z. atamasco (was Sternbergia and Zephyranthes)

Thank you Nick and Jim, I have had problems growing Z. atamasco, but it
is the spring wet bit I didn't know. I have managed to get one to
flowering stage from seed, but it was nothing short of a miracle to me.
It is in the detail the difference lies, wet in spring.
Should have better chance now with the seed of my one and only.
What about Z. simpsonii? Does that have a detail I am missing in the wet
part? Like Z. atamasco, I have managed to get one to flower. But only
the one.

Z. atamasco is fairly common near my house. I see them blooming best in meadows with soil that is consistently wet in Spring, but they do not seem to require standing water.

Some grow and bloom only when there is standing water
