I do not claim to be an expert but, I am growing rain lilies.
I bought them as rain lilies and the match the information and pictures on the internet. They grow from a small bulb roughly 1/2 an inch high and in diameter. The leaves look much like grass, narrow strands, about 10 inches long. The flowers are either white or pink depending on the variety and strangely they appear at the ends of what I described as grass leaves.
