Hello, In monocots the petal like structure is perianth and a single member of perianth is called tepal. Just like petal of corolla and sepal of calyx. Perianth is not differentiated into calyx and corolla. It is the characteristic feature of monocots. Which is seen in your Glory lily that is Gloriosa superba flower too. And the color of the tepals go on changing as the flower matures from yellow red to red. Borkar M.U.
