Zephyranthes macrosiphon question ???

I have the book Steven, they are right in that is what it says in the
book. What it says in the book is
"Z. macrosiphon is a Mexican species with large flowers carried in
summer on stems about 15cms long. The flowers are usually rose with a
greenish tube. A beautiful lemon-yellow form with golden anthers also
occurs."
Can someone confirm that statement please?

Hello Zephyranthes experts, i bought some zephyranthes from Pine Mountain
Nursery & they have a dark yellow with a slight rose blush back of petal,
looks like Z. Dicromantha, its darker then primulina, but it is marked as
Z. macrosiphon... When i said macrosiphon is pink, they told me that it is
a new macrosiphon that is yellow & said it is noted in pages 183 to 184 of
“Bulbs for Gardeners and Collectors” by Hobbs and Hatch..
It sounds incorrect to me, can any one confirm if it is possible that there
is a yellow one now ?
