Rain Lily
Last week, in early June, in the midst of a pandemic, it rained hospitably. The 'rain lilies' responded. My editor, always keen to find fault, said I should unobtrusively add the scientific name of these lilies. Why should I write Zephyranthes Labuffarosa on my blog? It's long, and complicated. Average readers don't want that. They want pretty pictures.
