Habranthus martinezii

Habranthus martinezii 


According to the Pacific Bulb Society wiki, this species is confined to Argentina. The flower seems disproportionately large for the diameter of the scape, and that quality gives the blooming plant a very graceful appearance. This is the first time it has bloomed here.
Unfortunately for us, most of the rain lilies are not reliably hardy in this area. They are easily managed in pots, but that is a bit of a nuisance.
