Was given a couple of these plants recently without the chance to find out
what they were or how to look after them.

They were placed in water in a vase when given to me. I've now put one in a
pot with soil and kept the other in water in case i'm doing the wrong thing.

Grateful for any identification. See tiny pic website for photo

Any any advice on how to care for them. Thanks.

As you've probably noticed you're defeating the collective wisdom of the
group.

So, could you provide more information.

Since you indicate that you've seen it, what does the below ground
portion of the plant look like? Is a bulb? a tuber? a bundle of roots?

What does the flower look like from the front? How many tepals? How many
stamens? How many styles and stigmas?
