Judith Wark asks if it's useful to grow seed. I grew my first seed of zephyranthes (drummondii) after a visit from Scott Ogden. He saw one of mine in bloom and said it was the largest rainlily he'd ever seen. So I figured why not grow some more to put around the garden. I took no care in how they were pollinated and the moths and bees probably mixed it with our smaller native strain. Regardless, this is what came from that first seed pod.
Thin segments
Eight segments
Curly segments
Floppy spidery segments
Full round flowers
Various sizes.
The last shows the flower Scott commented on next to one of our native drummondii that I'm holding.
I have a lot more variants displaying even more range in the offspring.
This is just one cross, of just one species. Imagine what you can do if you try. Careful though, this seed pod led to an obsession.
