Rain-lily ID

This white flowered rain-lily came up unexpectedly as the only label near it was broken and carried the letters "Habrant...brachya..." but I don't think it's a Habranthus.
Is it a Cooperia? Zephyranthes drummondii?
Anyone out there with an opinion?
cheers

Hi Roland,

Hi Fermi: Looks very much like Zephyranthes atamasca. It is fragrant and has that red stem. Fran

Thanks Fran and Roland.
I think that I did have Z. drummondii at some time - how it got into this bed is a mystery! But a lot of labels have been destroyed or buried by the blasted echidna which burrows through this bed after ants!

Are there wild Zephyranthes growing where you are
Fermi
the seeds you send do well
it seems calostemma isn't going dormant
is that the same in Australia ??

Hi Roland,
I think sometimes the young plants can grow through a whole year if it doesn't get too dry which would cause them to go dormant.
I had one Calostemma flower from seed in 18 months but I'm not sure if this was because it didn't go dormant.
cheers

When do they start flowering in the nature
maybe you can have a look (if not to far away) for some strange colours when in flower
if you are interested I have this summer (Winter for you) seeds from Zephyranthes and Habranthes
I bought maybe 50 species and hybrids for my collection
