<span style='color:red'>DESCRIPTION: They produce weak, trailing stems clothed with glossy leaves, which are tipped at the ends with tendrils to aid in climbing. These plants can reach heights up to 8 feet. Flame Lilies are valued for their exotic, 4- to 5-inch flowers whose wavy-edged petals are reflexed back as if blown by a strong wind. If the flowers are cut just before the petals bend back, they will last up to 8 days in an arrangement. Split the end of the main stem before putting it into the vase. G. rothschildiana is the prettiest of the Flame Lilies, reaching 3 to 6 feet in height and having whorled leaves. The wavy petals of its flowers are crimson, edged in bright yellow making the blossoms look like they're on fire. G. simplex produces orange and yellow flowers that open with a light greenish tinge. The vines reach about 3 feet in length. G. superba var. Lutea has pure yellow flowers with slender petals.
--------------------------
POTTING: Flame Lilies are hardy from zones 7 to 10. They prefer night temperatures ranging from 60 to 70 oF and day temperatures at 75 oF or higher with high humidity. They will tolerate night temperatures down to 50 or 60 oF. Grow Flame Lilies in fast draining, organic, acid to neutral soil in a location that receives light to medium shade. In the garden, plant the finger-like, L- or V-shaped tubers 2 inches deep. They should be set horizontally in the holes. To extend the blooming period, start the tubers inside in late winter then transplant to the garden. One to three tubers can be grown in an 8-inch container. Water and fertilize while in active growth throughout the blooming period. After blooming, gradually stop watering, then dig and store the tubers dry for about 6 months at 50 or 60 oF. They can be left in pots of dry soil until spring, when they should be replanted in fresh soil. In suitable climates, they may be left in the ground over winter if sheltered from cold, damp conditions.

Family: Liliaceae. Common name(s): Glory Lily
Genus of one very variable species of climbing, tuberous perennial from woodland and forest, often by rivers, in tropical Africa and India. The Glory Lily bears large flowers in midsummer. Gloriosa is a vine. The flowers have an unusual shape and can be used as a cut flower. Provide a sunny growing area and a well-drained soil. When the foliage dies down, dig the tubers and store them in peat moss or vermiculite through the winter. Gloriosa rothchildiana grows 4 -6 ft or more. Swept-back petals are red with a yellow base - Gloriosa superba is similar but petals change from green to orange and finally to red.
Growing conditions
Average warmth.Keep cool (50-60F) in winter. Choose sunniest spot available.
Watering and misting
Compost must be kept moist at all times during the growing season. Reduce and stop watering in winter. Misting is necessary in summer.
Propagation
Remove and plant offsets at repotting time. Divide the tuber at planting time in the spring. Sow seed at 66-75 F (19-24 C) in spring </span>
