Default Rain Lilies!
Inspired by Sue's thread in this section, I decided to post some pics of a few of my rain lilies. Enjoy!

1+2 Habranthus robustus
3 - Habranthus tubispathus (sorry for the focus)
4 - Zephyranthes 'Apricot Sunset'
5 - Zephyranthes candida
6 - Zephyranthes grandiflora
7,8 - Zephyranthes labuffarosea
9+10 - Zephyranthes primulina

I'll try to post pics of Z. chlorosolon and Z. macrosiphon as they come up.

I have a large pot full of rain lilies and I love them. Sadly the neighbors rabbits got loose and chewed up all the leaves. At least they didn't get to my orchids!

Wow, nice set of plants. I really like these. I suppose no one grows them up here in NYC.

Thanks everybody. But I've really got to spend a little more time in the photography forum.

Tin, I'm not sure about zone hardiness, but there's bound to be a few that would do well for you. Check out Brent and Becky's Bulbs website, they're good about including zone info. They have a few (and couple hardy orchids ).

Default Day (?) not Rain Lily
This isn't a 'rain' lily .. I believe it is a type of day lily growing along side the house but I thought I'd add it here anyways .. Enjoy
