Very nice! Really like the subtle color variation. Are they hardy in the ground in 8a?

Thanks bostedo! They're definitely hardy here. Mine have been in a shallow clay pot for 4 years now and have survived ice storms, snow, and temperatures in the teens.

Your rain lilies are beautiful. Do you do anything to make them bloom more? Would love some tips on getting them to bloom. Rain Lilies are our new favorite plants. (We go through phases. lol) I was trying to decide whether to leave ours in pots or put them in the ground. Ours little pot bloomed a few weeks ago and they are still sending up buds. (pic) Then, we collected seeds and all those have little shoots coming up. They are in pots too. We were trying to see if our lilies were the same as yours. We don't know the variety.

We really love your photo! Thanks for posting.

Thanks MsRed Byrd! Your rain lilies are beautiful too! That's so neat that yours produced seeds. I've had mine for 4 years and they've never produced seeds. It took mine a while to finally fill the shallow pot they're in. I'm sure if they were in the ground, they would produce offsets quicker? I have mine in an area that gets morning sun and shade during the afternoon. They get watered every once in a while and the same with fertilizer. I probably only feed them two or three times a year, or whenever I remember it? Mine had 4 flushes of bloom last Summer, and it would only be two or three blooms at a time. After we had that rain storm last week and since I gave them a dose of fertilizer, they produced a ton of flowers. I also have a candida variety that's supposed to bloom August through September. They look ratty right now because they aren't getting a lot of water.

I may try that purslane? I noticed my Candida ones in deeper pots look happier and have multiplied a little since I planted them last Fall.
