This is the second year of this blossom but unfortunately it only lasts one day looks quite exotic they come in red, pink and yellow. I just cant find out the name.
I bought this packet about 3/4 years ago and was going to dump it so many times, i am so glad i didn't as this is the second year of blooms, so i will be looking after it, but i am no greenfingered talent.
Hope you can help.

I bought a package of tigridia bulbs and they only bloom for one day. I was trying to find out why. Are all tigridia only one day blooms? Each one does have more than one bloom in a day or two. They are very pretty, but sad they close up before the sun goes down. They are already open when you get up early. That is the picture of them, exactly. Well I guess I will just enjoy each day and wonder what color I will get next. I live in Simi Valley, CA and wonder if I have to dig them up every year.

It's definitely not a daylily -- I have bunches of those. That looks like a Trigridia - a Mexican shell flower. Go to this link for brief summary on care: http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/bulbs-summer/tigridia.html

Looks and sounds like a daylily. I'm not sure of the type, but it is very pretty. You can divide the bulbs in the fall. Kind Regards, Shell
