<\/a>\r\nOne and two Treat’s Rain Lilies @ OPF 2023-02-18<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\nTreat’s rain lily, Zephyranthes atamasca var. treateiae<\/em>,\r\nis a special variety that mostly grows in counties on either side of the GA-FL line.\r\nI hear there are also some in Louisiana and Alabama.\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\nIt’s a variety of Atamasco lily, Zephyranthes atamasca<\/em>,\r\nwhich is much more widespread, growing all over the southeastern U.S. coastal plain, from eastern Mississippi to southern Virginia.\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n“Treat\u2019s zephyrlily is distinguished from atamasco liliy (Z.\r\natamasca var. atamasca<\/em>) by its narrower leaves and a perianth tube that is\r\nmore than one quarter the length of the perianth.”\r\n \r\nThe perianth tube is where the base of the petals form a tube.\r\n \r\nThat quote comes from \r\nFlorida Natural Areas Inventory, 1998-11-05<\/a>,\r\nwhich actually shows Treat’s Rain Lily growing as far south as Tampa.\r\n \r\n\r\n “Populations of Zephyranthes treatiae have been known to persist through repeated annual burning,”\r\nsays Coastal Plain Plants<\/a>.\r\n \r\nThese are growing in an area where we burned around the house on December 26, 2022.\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\nThe same reference says for habitat: “Zephyranthes treatiae has been found in wet savannas[1], pine flatwoods, low pinelands, live oak woodlands, swamps, and xeric pine plantations.”\r\n \r\nWe have them mostly in piney woods.\r\n \r\nAnd that reference says:\r\n“It is also found in disturbed areas including mowed sod near flatwoods and roadsides.”\r\n \r\nThey are very common in road ditches around here,\r\nespecially in April, which is why they are commonly known as Easter lilies.\r\nBut they are no relation to the Japanese imports sold in stores as Easter lilies.\r\nTreat’s Rain Lily is native.\r\n \r\n -jsq\r\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"These lilies sprung up just in time for the weekend cold snap.
