From a Yucca Do collection (#T39-19) in a 4,000' elevation cloud forest, comes this provocative little gem, once thought to be a particularly good form of Z. macrosiphon, but alas, such is not the case. Most folks now group it in with the "catch species", Z. lindleyana. This fast-clumping rain lily has thick rich green foliage, topped regularly through most of the entire summer with large Z. grandiflora-sized bright pink flowers (RHS color 75B).
