In the middle of summer, the rocambole produces a peduncle on which small, purple flowers in the shape of a bell are formed. They are collected in spherical inflorescences. It is worth noting that these flowers do not form fruits, therefore they are essentially useless and it is recommended to immediately remove them together with the arrow.
The underground part of the plant is a giant bulb, consisting of 4-6 teeth, covered with a dense and fibrous scale. On average, such a bulb reaches 6 centimeters in diameter and weighs 100 grams, but with proper care and the introduction of the necessary nutrients, these indicators can be increased to 10 centimeters and 300 grams.
