Another pink flower ID'd by Oron as Zephyranthes minuta
« on: June 16, 2014, 04:45:28 PM »
I saw this growing dotted around a garden in Sparta last week.
There were thunderstorms, almost on a daily basis, while I was there
All the gardens and orange groves looked very muddy.
Does anyone know what this is?
