Help in Identifying two ornamental plants:  Both of them were sighted at null 13.05 N, 80.25 E at Semmozhi Poonga, Chennai.


Seems to be Zephyranthes. Pink one seems to be rosea.


1. Can be Zephyranthes candida
2. Zephyranthes rosea


These are very common ornamental plants in Chennai.  There are other colours too. yellow and white, which I had grown in Chennai. They flower frequently whensoever it rains in Chennai. Some of them are also known as grass lilies.

Saw these small Pink Lilies at a plant nursery in Nasik on 13th July, 2015.

Cultivated plants.

Kindly help in the Species.
Z. carinata or Z. rosea as in Flowersofindia? 


As per FOI: Rosy Rain Lily are small flowers that are rose in color with a green base. The flowers are much smaller that of Pink Rain Lily, and the throat is distinctly green.
In view it should be Zephyranthes rosea


Thanks a lot. I thought so too but wanted an expert opinion.
