    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    The largest yellow Rain Lily that I know. The flowers are pale lemon with a salmon pink blush on the outer petals. This species originates in Mexico. Bulb size will vary somewhat depending on what we dig up. We will not send tiny bulbs so you can expect mostly large and medium size. These multiply and set seeds.
