Treat’s rain lily<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nZephyranthes atamasca var. treateiae<\/em>
\nthese days is classified as an amaryllis. <\/p>\n

\nThis is a special native variety of Atamasco lily, Zephyranthes atamasca<\/em>, that only grows in counties on either side of the GA-FL line, plus maybe some in Alabama.
\nAccording to Flora of North America (eFloras.org)<\/a>,<\/p>\n

“the greater length of the perianth tube compared with that of the filaments in Z. treatiae<\/em> readily separates that species from Z. atamasca.<\/em>”
\nSome botanist correct me, but I think that means that the petals of the flower form a tube farther out in Treat’s rain lily, while
\nin the Atamasco lily the petals are more separate.<\/p>\n

\nMore about Treat’s rain lily in an old blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nThey are sometimes called Easter lilies, because people see them growing in road ditches around Easter time,
\nbut they are not those big Japanese imports.<\/p>\n
