Sir gee,
This is Gloriosa Lily plant, in the first photo you can see the Tuber on the top of the container. I am lucky because found in the damaged plant and nursery man was in trying to throw this out. As this was import from Holand and may be one of the following
Gloriosa Carsonii
Gloriosa 'Lutea'
Gloriosa greenii

I wish for Gloriosa Carsonii....... I love chocolate color.

The leaves are much thinner and longer than mine and the tubers are always bent in the middle that is what confused me. Congratulations.

Actually when I saw it first time at nursery, the pot was under full sun.
Tuber sprout twice, first from upper side and stem was broken (broken stem mark is still there) and after that again sprout from lower side.
we can see a thin/delicate net of white roots, have seen first time.

I had carsonii and greenii last year. Some are sprouting but not sure what they will be since I lost a few due to negligence. Here's some pics from last years post with gloriosa

They are cheaply available at the site below and I can bring them if you guys want. They vary from 9 to 12 dollars for 6 tubers so people can share. However, other sites will likely have single tubers for sale also.
