Pink Rain Lily

Rain lilies are so named because they flower after heavy rain. The flowers are somewhat crocus-like, with grass-like leaves. The flowers tend to last only a day or two, but are replaced in succession with new flowers. The flowers are funnel-shaped, upward-facing, and have 6 petals, and come in yellows, whites, oranges, reds and pinks..
