Wildflower : Zephyranthes Rosea (Rain Lily)

This Pink Rain Lily is very common type found wildly in any part of Malaysia, its also a favorite for home gardening.

Rain lilies, so named because of their tendency to burst into bloom after a rain, originally from Mexico, Guatemala and the grassy plains of South America. These clump-forming perennials start small, but when left in undisturbed will develop over several seasons into truly impressive sights. Poke these little bulbs in here and there; then forget them. One day you'll glance at your garden and there they'll be, blooming away.

Lovely starry blossoms, easy care, tough constitutions and inexpensive - rain lilies are hard not to love.

A beautiful sight can be seen at KLCC with white rain liles /fairy lilies (Zephyranthes candida)
