They're so lovely. I have a few that haven't multiplied in the years they've been there, but one sprouted about 30' away in the field behind my house. It was so beautiful that I mowed around it. A really thrilling sight all by its lonesome. Mine are lavender pink.sherryocalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367991971551038582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-21907471897023579132011-05-26T22:34:09.717-04:002011-05-26T22:34:09.717-04:00Nanette,

I was so excited, but sad that there weren't more. However, you've told me why...mine are in shade so I'll move them to a bright spot where they can thrive.

However, I brought home several bulbs I got at a Plant Swap last weekend and planted them. Only problem is I can't remember where I planted them!! I feel like those squirrels who lose their acorns.

Last year at a Plant Sale they gave a little baggie of rain lily seeds if you made a purchase. They never grew. Saw "Florida Friendly Plants" comment on Facebook that the viability drops quickly after ripening. Maybe I can find some fresh seeds somewhere.SiestaSisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810517627451623408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-86767699682667372652011-05-26T07:20:32.696-04:002011-05-26T07:20:32.696-04:00Seeing these beauties pop up after a good rain wou...Seeing these beauties pop up after a good rain would certainly put a smile on ones face.
