Please help to identify this herb, planted in a garden at Kotagiri, TN.
Could this be any Amaryllidaceae species?
i think this is ground orchid. This is not an Orchid I hope Possibly any species of Chlorophytum Looks like a member of Iridaceae. This could be Aristea ecklonii Baker (Iridaceae)

Aristea ecklonii
Eravikulam WLS,
Munnar, Kerala, in the Nilgiris
First week of October 2018
i thought this was a weedy plant but seems people plant them. we have a page I did see the EFL page and understood that this is not native to India or the Nilgiris but I don’t think it must have been planted at Eravikulam, looked quite wild and at home. it was at the edge of the area beyond which tourists are not allowed to go any further. i wonder what the explanation for this might be. maybe flying seeds, or shoes of tourists or the forest workforce we have a page /species/a—l/i/iridaceae/aristea/aristea-ecklonii on that page are two cases
red ink is used to hight area where that particular case was found
1: planted in a garden at Kotagiri, TN.
2: plant captured in a cultivated garden in Ooty, Tamil Nadu in November 2013.
3: Seen a similar flower in Sri Lanka.
so it has been around a few years ago since this is self reported by citizen scientists, its random. we would not know its real area of occurrence.
i think i had seen seeds to be bought and sold in some african country website. so possibilites are many, for its source.
May be started getting naturalised?
I suppose you could be right …
