Unknown species from NARGS exchange, collected in Mexico. Our plants were started from seed in spring of 2019, and produced their first flowers two years later. These were white, with just a hint of pink; once faded, the flowers turn light pink. To my eyes, they look not too dissimilar to other lower-growing white-flowered zephyranthes, such as Z. morrisclintii, although its petals aren't translucent. I'll try to make closer observations once they reach their mature form.
