Zephyranthes is not a rare flower, but when they bloom in clusters, they stand out. We’d like to introduce the flower 'Zephyranthes' that I encountered in the town of Shuzenji.

Zephyranthus candida or Tamasdare (Scientific name: Zephyranthus candida) is a Peruvian origin and is a bulb plant of the Amaryllidaceae family. There are bulbs in the basement. From summer to autumn, unidirectional inflorescences are stretched out from the flower stems coming out of a linear crowded leaf, and a white funnel shaped flower with a 6-deep tip is attached. Leaves are dark green and resemble leek. The genus Zephyrinusus is called by flower color. White flowers are called Thamas Dare, or Zephyrinus Candida. There are peach flower varieties called Zephyrusus Caritana. Because it is short and has a small number of flowers, many stocks are used for potted plants and ground covers.
