Spreading Zephyr Lily

zephyr lily

It started with a pot, Kakdah brought to Putrajaya from her hometown 3 years ago. She had been dividing them and put them all over the garden. They let out lovely pink flowers few days after a good round of shower. Now some are placed in little concrete container which are open at both ends. Containers act as edging to the garden bed which will soon be worked out and at the same time housed 4 bunch of zephyr lilies.

After 3 years, zephyr lilies spread all over, mostly through kakdah's intervention.
I do notice some grow at very awkward place,
definitely not within kakdah's design or plan.
I suspect one or two bulbs drop off
while she hurried up and down
putting the divided lilies into locations of her choice.
Lilies just grow where ever we place them,
by design or accident,
and never get sick or attacked by pests.

a little info

The name Zephyranthes comes from Zephyrus (the west wind) and anthos (flower), and is a reference to the slender stalks. (click here: Zephyranthes)

When sunflowers worship the mighty Sun, Zephyr Lily is the opposite, rejoicing over rains with beautiful little pink blooms.
