Ah, another wild flower snatcher!! Ha, ha! I think you are right about the size of the flower being smaller in the wild. The birds or the wind planted something very similar in my garden and their flowers are bigger. You should be able to tell the difference next time they bloom. Let us know.

I am not going to sit with a watch on my porch. Its all wild to me. I am getting popping. I have had 5.25" since Wednesday. The white on the beaten down brown field is startling. It looks like winter here. I drove to Austin and it looks like spring there. I guess I need to wait a few days.

I was out in my garden surveying what was sprouting and I see all sorts of baby rain lily sprouts in the pathway that I planted using your seed. I did not water them all summer long and at least some of them lived. That makes me happy. No flowers. I was not expecting any so soon.

Likely next year.

fingers crossed. My soil is not that friendly, nor do I get as much rain.

I have seen the white with the pink touches on our property. Right now we have mostly the copper rain lilies popping up everywhere.

Lorelei, If you think of it , could you collect some seed for me of the copper lilies?

I am getting a few of my pink ones popping too.

yay, Mara! glad some of my pinks are still alive and kickin'!!

I got some freshly collected coppers if anyone wants some. Had 3 bumper crops this year because of the rains. There are 2 patches growing wild in my field. After re-seeding in other spots and in my bed borders with my whites and oxbloods I have quite a bit left over. Send me address and I’ll mail you some. Need to plant right away as I heard they are not too viable if kept too long.

I love them because they are one of those plant and forget types and they grow nice and have bigger blooms if the soil is better than the hard black clay in the field.

@ Gator. OOH OOH OOH, i want want want them. What can I do in return. You don't have your Message thing so I can't get a hold of you. You can message me though with an email.

Gator, what color are the coppers ? or the name so I can google. I would love to have some and could send you some seeds in exchange.

Habranthus tubispathos

@wantonamara Text me at fiveonetwo 554 fourthreenine4 with your address and I’ll get some in the mail to you.

OK, I think I fixed the link above.... oops.

Will do ibn a bit....as soon as I find my phone.

Seeds sent yesterday.

Thanks. I will be looking out for them
