Tropical Texas: Blooming in the garden
http://tropicaltexas.blogspot.com/2007/09/blooming-in-garden.html
Saturday, September 1, 2007. Blooming in the garden. You know I love my rain lillies. Ah, there is nothing quite like Zephyranthes sp. 'Grandjax'. It is perhaps the most floriferous rain lilly I've been around. This wispy plant, called Baja fairy duster or. Grows from California to Texas. I love it. This is a native volunteer plant we call cowpen daisy,. It is an annual, but it comes back every year. As you can see, it is a star among butterflies. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
