Hi Silverfluter,
I actually tried (in vain) to reply to this thread last August and my computer froze up during the post and I guess it never appeared. When I tried to find your thread several days later, I couldn't locate it. Sorry about that. Seems pointless to reply now, but I will say what I would have said before.

My gloriosa lilies have done great in full blazing East Texas sun, with little attention. I had mine in a bed in the unshaded area of the yard.

They did not fry in the sun or change colors due to the sun's affect. However, there is natural variation of coloring among the blooms. some were more purply maroon red, while others were more orangy flame red.
