Zephyranthes sp.

This is one of my favorite flowers. It's of the Zephyranthes species, I think. I'm not too sure of the exact scientific name. 
Should be either Zephyranthes grandiflora or rosea, but I can't be sure. Hmmmm... Anyway, there was a small patch of this plant in the Singapore Botanical Gardens. Beautiful flower, it is. Never expected that what's hidden under the soil is a bulb characteristic of plants in the Amaryllidaceae family. 

Note: Go to the HistoryGallery if you wish to view enlarged versions of the photographs in the slideshow.
