I first discovered the plant by finding three small tubers (~1ΒΌ x 3/8") while harvesting from a pile of old mulch. I planted them in a pot to see what came from them. It took a while but this is what eventually sprouted. I was soon surprised to discover a few other plants right off my back patio. Because of their color, they were very easy to miss.

They lived for a while, maybe a month or so (I don't remember) then died down. I thought I had killed them by overwatering or something, but the ones by the patio had also disappeared. The group in these last photos is the same as last year. The plants among the rocks in the previous post are new to me. The ones in the pot are lagging behind for whatever reason, and are only about 3/4: tall right now.

Any ideas? I don't even know where to begin looking for info on these.
