Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Whats with the rosy toad? Very light pink nearly white flowers in summer, this was found by Yucca Do and is considered to be an intergeneric cross between Cooperia and Zephyranthes.
This lovely rain lily, discovered in 1990 in Tamaulipas, Mexico by Yucca Do Nursery, begins flowering mid summer, producing multitudes of six-petalled, 3" stars on 12" stems in colors ranging from white to blushed pink to pink. The evergreen foliage is shiny and grass-like, to only 6-10" tall, forming clumps to 4-6" across. Wonderful as single plants or in drifts in sun to light shade with occasional summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. Thought to be a natural intergeneric hybrid between cooperia and cephyranthes, rain lily expert Thad Howard suggests the proper name would be x Cooperanthes 'Labufaroseas'. So far, zephyranthes remains the species, though the cultivar has many spellings, including variations on 'Labuffarosea'.
This species from Mexico blooms in a variety of shades from white to pink. It blooms with large flowers after summer rains. These seed grown bulbs are variouse shades of pink to white. Bulb size will vary somewhat depending on what we dig up. We will not send tiny bulbs so you can expect mostly medium size.
