What can match the stunning beauty with which the rain lily rewards you following a dreary rainy day?

Redrose, where you live, you *should* be able to find these growing wild. If I recall correctly Dave's rain lilies came from Louisiana, and they multiply rapidly.

Dave, I'm planning to take the hardy plumbago I shared with you and plant it with Surprise Lilies (Lycoris) and pink rain lilies in a bed. They should bloom at about the same time (sporadically, but for several weeks); I figure the electric blue from the plumbago will make a nice counterpoint to the intense pink of the lilies. Just in case you were wondering what to do with that plumbago... :)

Vols: Funny you should mention the plumbago... It's actually sitting right here on my desk next to me. I finally made the first step - I moved it from the kitchen to my desk. Next stop - the garden. :) hehehe.
