The Glade 4.0

My wife has been growing these flowers for a long time. She originally got them from a neighbor. Does anyone know what kind of flower they are?

They grow from a bulb. There's about eight inches from the flower to the ground.

Ideas?



(To be moved to the Gardening forum if we ever get one...)

We had something very similar that we always called "Rain Lilles", but I'm not sure of the actual name.

::edit:: Ok, so a quick google search seems to confirm that they are indeed rain lilies, or Zephyranthes. The images look very similar to the ones you posted, the ones we grew were a slightly different variety.

Thank you! Very quick response.

Zephyranthes grandiflora appears to be right variety.
