Pink Rain Lily ゼフィランサス

ロゼア (Zephyranthes rosea)

 

This photo was taken in Oaza Kaminaguri Hanno, Saitama, Japan. I had a beautiful scenic drive in Chichibu-shi, 秩父市. It was a very hot day but pretty nice up in the mountains. I found these Rain Lily flowers growing up in the mountains. According to Wikipedia they are believed to grow after the rain.

 

Zephyranthes rosea, commonly known as the Cuban zephyrlily, rosy rain lily, rose fairy lily, rose zephyr lily or the pink rain lily, is a species of rain lily native to Peru and Colombia. They are widely cultivated as ornamentals and have become naturalized in tropical regions worldwide. Like all rain lilies, they are known for blooming only after heavy rains.

 

They contain potentially lethal toxins.
