There are many rain lilies that bloom all across the world, but few put on the show of Zephyranthes grandiflora. This is the large flowered traditional pink rain lily. The joyful flowers open wide on stalks about 3-6 inches above their flattened dark green foliage. They bloom through the hottest part of summer and will bloom numerous times, usually following a rain. Summer thundershowers, with their splash of water and quick cooling of temperatures, trigger massive blooms three to five days after the storm has passed. This is why they are called rain lilies!

One of my earliest bulb hunting experiences was with LSU horticulture professor Dr. Neil Odenwald. He took me to an abandoned lot and we discovered Crinum jagus and a pink rain lily clumping up in beautiful clusters of pink in this seemingly abandoned garden. It was the Zephyranthes grandiflora. The rich pink flowers open up into star shaped blooms and begin to grace June gardens this time of year.

Perhaps my favorite landscape use of these pink rain lilies is to see them mixed in with liriope, a common ornamental grass border. The casual eye rarely notices the difference in foliage between the rain lilies and the liriope, but 3-5 days after a good rain in June and July, that "common" border explodes in large popcorns of star shaped pink blooms. As my former horticulture advisor at Texas A&M told me, "I love rain lilies because they are like old friends that pop back into your life. You haven't seen them in ages but you are so glad to see them again." Thank you Sharon, for such a great quote!

The Zephyranthes grandiflora provides so much color all summer long that it makes us happy every time the flowers bloom. Anyone who lives in zones 8-10 can appreciate any flower that will bloom over and over during the hot summer months. We love that the flowers bloom well when we water them, but they are absolutely amazing when the smallest shower occurs. Just when you are sure that the southern summer heat was too much for them along comes a rain and your area is transformed into a sea of bright pink.

Landscape: This bloom works great in full summer sun, but it can certainly appreciate a few hours of summer shade each day. This bulb works well under irrigation especially if it is a dry summer. The foliage alone is beautiful even when the flowers aren't in bloom. This bulb requires very little maintenance. These larger rain lily bulbs quickly clump and spread, offering a showy display in an otherwise dormant summer garden. The dark pink showy displays make great borders easily seen from afar. These special bulbs are uniquely suited for warm climates and require very little maintenance. Normally, all that is required is some manual weeding around the clumps of bulbs as they grow with other active summer plants and seeds.

Planting: The most asked question that we get is "How close together should I plant the bulbs?" Our answer is "It depends on what you are trying to achieve." In other words, if you want the area to look natural, plant the bulbs about 2 inches apart, but if you are willing for the area to look a little sparse for a couple of years, then plant the bulbs about 4-6 inches apart. These multiply quickly and will fill in but it will take a couple of years. The picture above has about 2 bulbs in each 4 inch pot. Be sure to plant the bulbs no more 2-3 times the height of the bulb (so about 4 inches deep).

These work great planted in pots for everyone but especially for zones colder than 8. Just move them in to a garage or shop during the winter.

Color: Many often wonder why they should have more than one kind of pink rain lily in their garden. We love having the Habranthus robustus and the Zephyranthes grandiflora together. When comparing the Zephyranthes grandiflora to our other popular rain lily, Habranthus robustus, think about these differences:

1) The Zephyranthes grandiflora and Zephyrathes labuffarosa bloom with an open, star-like look, while the Habranthus robustus has a more trumpet, elongated bloom.

2) Blooms on a Z. grandiflora are so vibrant they're almost an iridescent blend of pink and purple, with maybe even a hint of blue. The Zephyranthes labuffarosa are a lighter pink than the grandiflora, though not quite as pale as the Habranthus, while the H. robustus are a very light, soft pink. Planted together, the three give you a lovely gradient of pink — deepening from the palest blush of the robustus, through the gentle rose of the labuffarosa, to the rich, almost iridescent bloom of the grandiflora.

3) Foliage on the Z. grandiflora is darker green and smaller, while the H. robustus foliage is a paler and flatter green foliage.

4) The Zephyranthes grandiflora and Z. labuffarosa are shorter than the Habranthus robustus and that makes for a great layering in your garden.

5) The H. robustus begin to bloom in April/May, and the Z. grandiflora and Z. labuffarosa blooms the first of June and continues during the heat of the summer. Their bloom-time overlaps for several weeks during the end of May and June so you get a stunning combination from flowers with complementary characteristics to help create a harmonious and appealing design.

Dependable: The Zephyranthes grandiflora thrives in zones 8-10. It multiplies quickly throughout the hot humid summer months in the south. This is a perennial bulb so it needs time to get established, but we always plant with next year in mind. It can absolutely be planted during the summer because that gives it time to get established. This little bulb will quickly fill your garden with bright blooms and lovely greenery all summer long.

Looks good but the wall anchors is TRASH!
Size: 3-tier shelves, Size: 3-tier shelves
The product is heavy and sturdy once you get it up completely. The issue I have is with the instructions... 1. The 5/16 drill bit is recommends is WAY TO BIG. The Anchors it comes with will slip right through. The screws that is comes with are WAY TO SMALL for the weight. I recommend getting better ones from the hardware store and painting the screws black for better aesthetics. 2. The instructions say to put it together first then hang it on the wall. That is great so you can see where you want to place it and because it is actually bigger than it looks, but you will need to de-assemble it from the bottom shelf down after you mark where you want to place it, then put that part on the wall, then reassemble it from there, securing the top part to the wall last. The instructions sucked but that is what worked best for me. Another thing is when you first assembling it, you will notice that you will have to unscrew it a bit so the pipes can fast the correct way. This will make it feel flimsy, but it will tighten up when you secure it to the wall. Also, like some people said in previous reviews, some of the black paint did peel off the pipes, not to much for me but it was noticeable if you look at it hard enough.

Love the look of these
Size: 24in-Shelve
I love the look of these. Bought for towel storage over my toilet. They look really classy and I'm so happy with them. However, its important to note that the wall anchors they provide are way too big for the screws. The screws just fall into the inside of the anchor without even being screwed in. So there's no way you could secure the wall unit with the ones provided. We had to replace the anchors with some I already had. Other than that very happy with the quality and look.

Great shelf
Size: 24in-Shelve
I’m a fan! Good quality, sturdy shelf, very easy to assemble and put on the wall. I recommend having a second person to help hold the shelf while you get the first few screws in, just to keep it level. I love the larger shelf space, it gives me a lot more storage for the bathroom.

Great Product!
Size: 3tiers-Shelves, Size: 3tiers-Shelves
This shelf system is an awesome option if you're looking for an industrial/rustic vibe. It's feels super well made and was easy to assemble. The finish on the wood is fantastic! All the hardware for mounting was there and even if you have minimal experience mounting brackets and hardware to the wall - this was still very easy. I especially appreciated the "U" brackets to secure the wood shelves to the posts - that was an unexpected extra that I was very happy to see included. Unfortunately because of space and the way my wife wanted these spaced, we didn't use the third shelf, but we're definitely going to find some place else in the house to mount that later. Overall, if you like this decor - I would definitely recommend this item!

Quick and easy - nice pipe kit.
Size: 4-Tier (Not included planks)
Pair these with some shelving boards from your local big box store, and you're in business. These look nice, and are easy to assemble. I had them up and on the wall in about 90 minutes.
