Because we ‘ve had an abnormally wet summer, the rain liles of the genus Zephyranthes and Habranthus have been blooming up a storm, and the insects that feed on them, like Tiger Swallowtail butterflies, are everywhere. Within 2-4 days after a rain, during the summer months, the clumps burst forth with an amazing floral show. Not only are rain lilies great in the ground, but they make superb container specimens. Throughout many South Asian countries, every doorstep or balcony has at least one pot of rain lilies. Between rains during the growing season, they can be run either moist or dry. In winter, these can be stored fairly dry, as long as they are kept just above freezing, and not allowed to completely desiccate.

I grow 14 varieties from PDN so far. They are carefree in my zone 10a garden & I would love to add Joy & Coppermine to my collection. I hope they are offered in the future. Here is Krakatau:
