    it's a variety of oxalis.

    it's a bulb, so it should be watered from below so as to not drown the bulb. it'll die down for the winter and you should bring it inside and cut back on watering it over the winter...then, in the spring, start watering more frequently again.

    depending on what zone you are in, it may be hardy in your area. most varieties are not hardy to where i am tho.

    thank you so much, and for the tips too,i was wondering how to take care of it.
    i think someone got water on the petals thats why they looked a little burnt in places.
    thanx Joclyn!

    you're welcome!!

    they are generally a low-light plant...they can take some direct/full light for an hour or so a day. and, yes, water droplets on the leaves will burn once the sun hits it.
