Don't believe the caption. I can't be trusted.
This plant has been for many years in a flowerbed under the lemon tree in my back yard, where it flourishes despite neglect, snails, and the occasional sunburn.
I have one in a pot too -- see its dramatically cratered tuber.
August 2007 update: this tuber did not come out of dormancy after the Freeze of January 2007.
