The Pink Rain Lily (Zephyranthes rosea), also known as the Fairy Lily or Cuban Zephyr Lily, is a charming and cheerful flower that graces gardens with sudden bursts of color—especially after a refreshing rain. Its dainty appearance and resilience make it a favorite among garden lovers across tropical and subtropical regions.One of the most enchanting traits of the Pink Rain Lily is its tendency to bloom right after a rainfall. This unique behavior gives the plant its common name, "Rain Lily." After lying dormant during dry spells, the bulbs awaken with vibrant pink flowers just days after rain, creating a magical transformation in the garden almost overnight.

Pink Rain Lilies are small but captivating. Each flower features six soft pink petals forming a star-shaped bloom, usually about 2 to 3 inches in diameter. The blooms rise gracefully above narrow, grass-like green leaves, adding an elegant contrast. Their simple yet graceful form makes them perfect for borders, rock gardens, containers, or mass plantings.
