That's a really interesting flower.  To my non-expert eye, it certainly
holds itself like a giant Zephyranthes.  In my garden, Z. atamasco is more
of an early spring-growing plant, rather than a winter-growing plant.  Its
natural growth cycle isn't too far off a lot of my Hippeastrums which tend
to go dormant when it gets hot in mid summer.
