Hi Mary Sue,
Zepheranthes are also flowering here in Gippsland and I have three out at
present. Z. labufferosa (is this correct?) , Z. fosterii which is a
beautiful rosy color, Z. minima, a very small flower. I'm hoping to see more
this year,  as some I have, haven't flowered as yet for me.
Other species flowering are Habranthus which have ermerged in a
thunderstorm.
Also, the beautiful Cypella coelestus, which goes under a couple of other
names (Phallocallus is one), which is in a pot near my pathway and is
flowering it's head off every day, more blooms coming out. Very spectacular.
regards,

And blooming earlier than it ever has (mid January) is Zephyranthes
atamasco. I know we already have it well pictured on the wiki, but I
couldn't resist adding one more picture since it is such a pretty thing.
