I posted already on Z. candida and Z. citrina earlier in the year. When I went out today this little guy was blooming! This species is Z. grandiflora another magnificent flower. I'll say it again these little plants rock!!!!! I still have one more species that hasn't bloomed yet a pink form Zephyranthes simpsonii. I'll post pictures as they bloom.
