this vivid unusual plant has grown quite quickly, and flowered once -the flower lasts for 1 day only, blossoming from what looks like a furled umbrella. It is now on its second flower, which developed after I removed the first flower stem

    It's a Tigrida. Very exotic looking.

    Tigridia pavonia.
    Oxford. The City of Dreaming Spires.
    And then my heart with pleasure fills,
    And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth :)

    I remove only the spent flower and not cut the stem as the next flower is also formed in the same receptacle. Sorry the picture is not quite clear but you can see the remnant of a spent flower and the next bud is coming from the same bend of the stem.
