Q. Occasionally, I see thousands of white rain lilies on the old Lamar School lawn at the corner of Hutchison and Moore Streets. Can you help me find out more about the life cycle and range of these wildflowers?
A . Our collection of books on local native plants is outstanding. We have copies of two different Texas wildflower books by Campbell and Lynn Loughmiller. The following information comes from these books.
Their book published in 1984 gives this scientific name for rain lilies: Cooperia pedunculata. The newer edition includes two popular names: Hill Country Rain Lily and Prairie Rain Lily.
