You can water your garden all you want with a hose, you might even see one or two rain lilies, but they don't really appear until after the first couple of big rain storms. Then they come in waves. I even have a couple blooming by my front door right now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700996106174707766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615802895251532423.post-57935193529326647572014-06-17T05:50:52.914-07:002014-06-17T05:50:52.914-07:00Yes thanksYes thanksCloudswinger - Brevardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738574150528335126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615802895251532423.post-54218344507009809672014-06-17T05:50:05.781-07:002014-06-17T05:50:05.781-07:00I have both Habranthus & Zephyrs.

They have a distinct blooming season and they bloom each time it rains heavily during that window. The same types of rain do not trigger them to produce flowers outside their blooming season.<br />Rain lilies come in a wide variety of colors and styles - but these, like the yellow-flowered species, are not native. Pretty plants regardless.Hawthorn Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879920186201900051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615802895251532423.post-55609131249192685442013-06-01T12:32:28.057-07:002013-06-01T12:32:28.057-07:00It's not the rain, but the thunderstorms that ...It's not the rain, but the thunderstorms that make them bloom. When it thunders, nitrogen is released and brought down in the rain storm. That is when they flower. I have seen yellow ones in my yard as well, which bloom very rarely.

I've seen it in the area of Port Saint Lucie, Florida<br />I am trying to dig out one of those bulbs... Maybe next year hopefully!<br />I have passion for rain lilies and more passion for the ones that blooms in late spring...<br />Unstable weather conditions in Florida makes it hard to bloom!<br />I brought a spring blooming pure white rainlily from central america and I only saw it bloom here in Florida 4 years ago... That's because we didn't have enogh rain in past springs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615802895251532423.post-89252196077111796682010-05-31T17:09:37.298-07:002010-05-31T17:09:37.298-07:00I would like to see a price list on the rain lilie...I would like to see a price list on the rain lilies, which would be resold in a Master Gardener's fall bulb sale, zone 7b. <br /><br />This site has been useful, since I was only aware of the pink and white, not the other colors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
