Without being there and really examining - it appears to be a crocus species. -
what do the leaves look like?to me,it looks like it's in the Lily family -
Some kind of crinum, maybe? -
Google Atamasco Rain Lily. It is a native Florida plant. -
I would say lily family because of the height. -
I think this what is called a wild Easter lily it's a bulb and is hard to transplant -
Not a gardener, but agree it looks like a lily! -
The leaves look like a dwarf Canna Lily -
it is from the lily family,,, there are so many kind of lilies that it would be hard to pinpoint without seeing it in person,, i would pick one and take it to the nearest nursery for exact help -
I agree with the others. It looks like it is in the Lily family. -
Doen't matter what you call it. It's not gonna come. -
Its a Rain Lilly , I have lots of them and so does my Mom. Thats what we call them. -
Is it a bulb or a rhizome?
-
it's a Rain Lily. I have lots of them in my yard. Dug up a whole crate full of them last year and I must have let alot of the tiny bulbs in the ground as I have as many now as I had before I dug. They really multilpy fast. Love them tho'.

I used to live in Tampa where my yard was full of these beautiful flowers. They looked like dainty lilies with leaves like long thick grass as shown in the picture. They're ethereal & fragile looking but never knew their name. -
Vicki R., Tampa is still full of them; I'm in Tampa and have plenty. We call them Rain Lilies. Sorry, don't know the scientific name. -
I grew some of those in Ca Bay Area but they only grew when the ground was over saturated. The store was selling them as bog plants. They loved the sun and did not seem to grow as well in a shady part of the yard. -
It does look like a rain lily (the genus is Zephyranthes, there are a number of different selections). It is a hardy bulb. -
Thank you everyone! I do believe that it is a rain lily. Thank you for the help. Much appreciated! -
It is not a rain lily.. it may look like a rain lily but look at the leaves.. that is not lily leaves... it is quite pretty though...
-
I have these too and was told they are Fairy Lilies - they are so beautifully petite and dainty. -
I wonder if they would grow in the Puget Sound area? they are pretty.
