I have a number of rain lilies in bloom in pots in the greenhouse. My favorite scented one is Habranthus tubispathus var. i{texanus}, a.k.a. Texas Copper Lily. I also like the scent from my Zephyranthes drummondii. In the ground I have 4 species of Zephyranthes in full foliage, but I protect them through the winter under a structure with supplemental heat. In other words, I got a head start on the growing season. I can't wait to see them bloom en masse. My hardiness zone is 6b.

I grow 4 types of rain lily: white, white-pink, yellow and pink. The white grow locally here in northeast Florida. They prefer wet areas like drainage ditches. They start to bloom sometimes even in late March and continue on through May with occasional blooms later in the year. The bloom can get quite large, maybe 3". Some blooms really open up wide, others are more cup shaped. The sepals are more narrow. It appears that multiple blooms can come from a larger bulb. My soil is quite sandy, so I have lost hundreds of bulbs collected in the wild. When they widen the roads, they get buried under the pavement, so sometime I try to "rescue" some of them. These easily form seeds and are quite easy to start from seed. Offsets form easily. The foliage is very narrow almost like chives.
My white-pink came from a neighbors back yard. They might be a naturally occurring type, but I cannot be positive. They just start blooming in May and go strong for about one month. They seldom bloom later. The sepals are much wider than the white and have a blush of pink. Blooms are more cup shaped and are about 2". The outside of the bud is very pink before it opens. The foliage is much broader, up to 1/2". This lily forms offsets like crazy, often several dozen small bulblets. It also seeds easily and will spread quickly.
My yellow were purchased from a catalog. They do not multiply much at all, and I do not recall seeing any seeds. The flower is small, maybe 1-1/2". They have been coming back every year for about 4 years since I bought them.
My dark pink are similar to the yellow regarding bulb multiplication and seeds. The flower is probably 1-1/2"-2". I have pictures of the bulbs and would be interested in a more positive identification. Nestor White

Nestor:

Did you know that you can post images to this forum? Just read the simple instructions about how to do this after clicking the "Formatting" link under "Documentation" in the side bar...

I rescued 6-8 large clumps of Z. citrina from a ditch the other day. I have about 250 bulbs. Please post if you would like some of these and I will mail them to you. The bulbs were about to be crushed as they are widening the road.

If you have a good neighbor, you are a lucky person. You have someone who cares about your needs and your property, who is helpful in the little day-to-day situations that come up, and who is supportive in times of crisis.

A good neighbor is someone who, wedding dresses for instance, understands that your children may occasionally run across his lawn, even though you tell them not to. He'll realize that children can be careless about things like that.

and he won'cheap aion kinah t make a big fuss about it unless it becomes a regular thing. In the same vein, he knows that you'll understand if some of the trash from his trash cans blows across into your yard. IN other words, he is sensitive to the unintentional things that can happen. He doesn't make a big deal about them.
flyff penya,
A good neighbor is also respectful of your property.flyff penya For example, she asks your permission before doing anything that interferes with what's yours. This means she wouldn't plant a huge tree in between your houses without asking how you feel about it. If she wanted to put up a fence, she would let you know first. She might work with you to decide where it should be placed. Maybe the two of you would even split the cost.

A good neighbor would lend you some milk if you ran out .maple story mesos She'd give you a ride to work if your car was broken, and let your children stay at her house in the evening if you got stuck working overtime. You would do the same for her. Both of you would help make the other's life easier.
flyff penya,
When something really awful happens to you,flyff penya like a death in the family, a good neighbor will volunteer to help in any way he can. This could mean something small, like making some casseroles to put in your freezer to feed vesting relatives, Or it could mean something big, like helping you get through the sadness of the funeral.
flyff penya,
I think only someone who has experienced a bad neighbor can really appreciate a good one! flyff penya A good neighbor can be a good friend. He or she can make all the difference in the world to your life.
