Rain Lilly, Cooperia pedunculata
A surprise two inch spring rain brought forth another surprise: in about three days, bright fields of Rain Lilies appeared. They are also called Prairie Lilies or Hill Country Rain Lilies. The Wildflower Center’s Native Plant Database describes the flowers as “3 petals and 3 sepals, all white” and up to two inches across. They form seed pods in a few days and are then gone, awaiting another strong rain. Perennial, blooming March through August.
