Little Yellow Rain lilies

After the long steady gentile rains of Ida earlier this week.  A bunch of little yellow early fall blooming rain lilies are beginning to bloom. These came as seed from Zephranthes pulchella (BX402),  Z citrina and Z reginae (BX 401). None look like the cream yellow wiki photos of  Z reginae. But i cannot tell other differences in the flowers. 

The leaves labelled as Z citrina (ex Alister Aird) (3rd pic in terracotta color pot) seem flatter, somewhat glaucous and about twice as wide as the leaves labelled Z pulchella (BX402) and Z reginae (BX 401).  The leaves of these latter two are more rounded, appearing almost like Z candida, but not hollow. 

Also these are all about half as tall as the Z smallii (BX 402) and Z jonesii (BX 400) and the white Z chlorosolen (SX2) that have now gone to seed (flowered before Ida). 

Is anyone else growing plants from these seed donations or have any insight into these plants?
