Beautiful Pink Flower - What is it?

My husband found this flower growing randomly in our front yard, I quickly dug it up and transplanted it into a pot, the flowers fell off (there were only 2) but a few weeks after putting them in a small pot, I found this beautiful flower had grown and opened and another one is on it's way. Can you please identify this for me? I'd love many more! Thanks! :)

Was this within a day of a rain? Did you notice if it was a small bulb plant?

Picture is not all that clear but it appears to be Zephyranthes atamasco, or atamasco lily, rain lily.

It's native to northern Florida and southeastern US. I sometimes see it after rains in my area though.

I'm so excited, it's raining today and I found so many more in my yard! Yay! I'm digging them up when the rain stops and potting them as well. :D
