Rain Lily

Zephyrantes/ Rain Lily/ Fairy Lily 

A long time ago, just as autumn was arriving, something strange appeared at the edge of the little pond. The plants had been awaiting the autumn rain for quite a while but the autumn rain would not fall. The rain had said she was waiting for the right time. This caused concern amongst the plants. The autumn and winter moths flew up into the air to search for creatures without maps. Without a map, you could not move around freely in the area.
During this time a little girl was wandering around the edge of the pond. She clearly came from another season. This was obvious as she was so beautiful and her skin was as pure and white as the clearest water. Unfortunately, the blades of grass started to find this little girl irritating. They did not like her being alone, and they asked her continuously where her parents were. One day a blade of grass said: "Yesterday you said your parents were away and now you say they are sick, so how about telling me the truth?". The little girl was now sad and worried. Then,a white flower bud leaned up against her and asked what she really was looking for. The little girl explained that she had no map, and that she had to find one soon - preferably one that only showed different exits. The flower bud said that such maps were not available, but said that the little girl could stay with her until the rain came. One day, a winter moth came so close to the little girl that she made eye contact with it. Just when the winter moth was about to dive down to catch her the rain came! Soft round rain drops fell down from the sky and miraculously, bud after bud started flowering alongside the edge of the pond. The flowers were as white and as clear as water and the winter moths could no longer distinguish the little girl. Since that day, the little girl lives with her parents together with the rain lilies and when the rain comes, they can finally feel calm and relaxed.

The UN has estimated that there are 30-40 million irregular migrants in the world. Children without a residence permit live in extreme vulnerability. In addition to the economic and social vulnerability, they live in constant fear of what will happen to them and their parents. It is our shared responsibility that they are not damaged for life! Zephyrantes is blooming when it is raining.
