Wishful Sunday ...

Scientific name: Zephyranthes candida
The fairy lily, Zephyr lily or rain lily is a bulbous plant, bearing linear hollow, strap shaped or grass like leaves. The solitary flowers have 6 pointed petals with equal number of bright and beautiful stamens. It flourishes throughout the rainy season, especially after heavy showers. It is suitable for planting in pots or in beds. If it is planted on grass edges, it gives a beautiful look while on full bloom. It took this photograph in my native place from a very famous plant nursery while visiting with my sister and brother-in-law, on 12th October, 2011.
