Gloriosa Lily: AKA Climbing flame lily, Fire lily, or Glory lily.

The Gloriosa lily has many names, but no matter what you what you call it, it truly is a glory to behold. This summer bloomer in hot southern climates captures one's attention with its fiery red and yellow color. This bloom and vine add texture to your garden that offers a nice contrast to other summer-growing plants. Often, we achieve this juxtaposition with form and color, and this bloom explodes with red, yellow, and even glossy dark green colors on unique vines. The fact that there are multiple blooms in varying stages for weeks makes every day an adventure.

Origin and Names: The Gloriosa lily isn't a lily at all. It isn't even from the lily family. It belongs to the Colchicaceae family. You may have heard this called: gloriosa lily, glory lily, fire lily, flame lily, climbing lily, creeping lily, cat’s claw or tiger’s claw. The Gloriosa lily comes in several colors, but the variety that we are carry is the Gloriosa rothschildiana. The name was given because the second baron Rothschild is credited with bringing this beauty to Europe from Africa.

Is it a tuber or a rhizome? Some call it rhizomatous tubers while others call it tuberous rhizomes. We will call it beautiful!

Care and Planting: Plant the tubers on their sides in well-drained soil about 2-4 inches deep. If you plant them on the deeper end, then the vines will be shorter. These tubers like to be moist but not wet. Because this is a vine, be sure to provide a trellis or fence. It will grow to 6 - 8 feet tall. Plant the tubers several inches away from the trellis so they have room to mature and multiply. Plant each tuber about 4-8 inches apart. Water the newly planted tubers daily until you see growth. Then you can reduce the watering to every couple of days. They like to receive the equivalent of about 1 inch a week.

Sunlight: Place the tubers where they will receive at least 6-8 hours of summer sun. Because they are a topical plant, they need the sun. If you are planting them in zone 8, they will work great in full sun to a little shade; however, due to the extreme temperatures in zones 9 and 10, they work best if given a break from direct sunlight late in the afternoon.

IN POTS: This beauty does great being placed in pots. Pots would allow someone in a colder zone to grow this summer-blooming beauty that could then be moved into a protected area during the winter. If you plant them in pots, you will need to water more frequently, but make sure that the pot has excellent drainage. The pots can be used indoors though not ideal for this sun-loving vine; however, you will need to make allowances for wintering your plant. Encourage its dormancy by watering it less often after it is done blooming in the late fall. Then in early spring simply start watering it and give it plenty of sunlight. By planting in pots, you are also able to "contain" the plant and place it where you want it each season. You may want to try a trellis on a porch one season, a fenceline another, or even place one near your mailbox for a splash of color. The tubers multiply so be sure to check your pots at the end of the season to see if you need to replant some into other pots.

Blooming: In the heat of July through fall, this bloom opens wide to show all her colorful glory. The blooms extend over a period of about four (4) weeks. The bloom hangs "upside down" and then begins the process of opening its six 2-3 inch long red and yellow tepals until they are completely reflexed (bending backwards until pointing upwards). Below the tepals are green stamen which add an even more unique look and color to this bloom. Some of the tepals are deep red and yellow while others on the same vine look almost pink. The colors often deepen the older the bloom becomes. That is why no two blooms are exactly the same. To encourage blooms and growth, you can add a light fertilizer to the plant monthly. The most common reason for not having successful blooms on the Gloriosa lily is from lack of sun. Too much fertilizer can encourage the plant to grow more foliage instead of blooms.

Vines: The Gloriosa lily is the only tuber/bulb that we carry that becomes a vine. We planted it in pots and in the ground against the fence. They aren't covering the fence, but they have added some beautiful greenery and pops of color to an otherwise ordinary line of sight. After the vine reaches several feet tall, it then begins to move horizontally as it produces the blooms which gives you multiple blooms up and down the fence line.

Cut Flowers: This tuber is super easy to grow and provides you with beautiful cut flowers. We cut a "grouping" (1 stem with 4 blooms) several days ago, and they look AMAZING in a vase! Can you imagine them with a whole vase full of other flowers and these peeking out here and there? Or even a vase full of nothing but these?

After Blooming/ Winter: As with most perennial bulbs, do NOT cut down the foliage as long as it is green. The foliage is sending nutrients to the bulb for future blooms. When the foliage dies back and is completely yellow, you can cut it off for the winter. In zone 8 and parts of 9, you may want to consider mulching over the tubers for the winter especially if they are away from your house as they won't curvive a hard freeze.

Other Interesting Facts:

All parts of this plant are toxic if ingested in large quantities, but especially the tubers. Small amounts though have been used in traditional medicine.

The flowers are deer and rabbit resistant.

However, it attracts pollinators like butterflies. This is all likely due to the vibrant colors of the bloom.

A Genuine Game-Changer for Manufacturing Management
Color: Matte Black, Clear Lenses, Size: Standard
A Genuine Game-Changer for Manufacturing Management These glasses have been nothing short of life-altering for my career. As a production manager overseeing a manufacturing facility, documenting Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) has always been a significant hurdle. My primary goal in purchasing these was to record high-quality POV video of processes, which I can then feed into AI tools to generate written SOPs. This isn’t just a win for my productivity; it’s a win for my crew, as it finally provides them with the clear documentation they need to succeed, relieving me of the stress that comes with inconsistent training materials. **Design & Comfort** I initially opted for the larger frame, but the height was a bit much aesthetically for my face. The standard size, however, is excellent. I have a history of headaches from standard eyewear after long days, but these remain comfortable for extended wear. They are impressively discreet—I had multiple people compliment them on day one without ever realizing they were smart glasses. They are convincing enough to pass as normal eyewear to the untrained eye. **Performance & Battery** * **Video & Audio:** The video quality is surprisingly clear, and the microphone performance is exceptional. I’ve taken several calls while wearing them, and the recipients couldn’t tell the difference between these and my phone’s handset. The audio is solid—provided you keep your expectations realistic regarding the low end. The bass is sufficient for daily listening. * **Battery:** This is the one area that requires adjustment. You’ll get about 30+ minutes of continuous recording, which drains the battery quickly. However, the charging speed via the included case is remarkably fast, which helps mitigate the downtime. **The "Unexpected" Features** While I bought these for SOP documentation, the note-taking and translator features have been revelations. On the production floor, I’m constantly pulled in four different directions. When I need to track material requests or quick process changes on the fly, these allow me to capture information immediately so nothing slips through the cracks. It has turned a single-use tool into an all-day essential. **Verdict** I am currently investigating sourcing safety-rated lenses to integrate these into my daily shop-floor workflow. While the frames themselves aren't officially safety-rated, for office-based procedures and light floor work, they have already become a staple of my daily routine. Between the hands-free note-taking, clear communication, and the efficiency they bring to training, these are an incredible value for anyone in a management or technical role. **Pros:** * Excellent microphone and video clarity. * Inconspicuous, stylish design. * Invaluable for hands-free documentation and note-taking. * Fast-charging case. **Cons:** * Battery life is limited during heavy recording sessions. * Frame is not officially rated for high-impact industrial safety environments.

She loves them!!
Color: Matte Black, Clear Lenses, Size: Standard
Bought these for my daughter that is a content creator.. she does cooking and food reviews.. She absolutely loves these glasses!!!! They aloud her to free up her hands and not have to worry about holding her phone or using a tripod as much.. the video and picture quality is great.. I've heard her both listen to music and talk on the phone with them. They also look great on her. She is going to add her prescription lenses to them.. These meta gen 2 glasses are pricey ($322 plus tax on sale).. But if you creat content even at the regular price its a no brainer..
