Zephyranthes traubii

This rainlily Zephyranthes traubii has a syn. name, Cooperia traubii. The species in "Cooperia" genus often bloom at evening with good smell, and white flowers usually (C. jonesii is with yellow flowers). Most rainlily could self-pollen and seed easily, but it doesn't happen to Z.traubii. I guess it need another plant with different gene or something. The plant belongs small size when comparing its relative species. It loves full sun, and in good drained pot-material. It's easy to grow rainlily, they bloom frequently, especially after raining. Althought flowers of C. traubii are white color, not as colorful as other species or hybrid ones, the sweet smell is really joyful.
