Description

This is one of two varieties of Toad lilies I grow in my garden. I really like these flowers because of the color they bring to the shady areas, and it's always nice to see blooms this time of year as. Often you'll see these referred to as Japanese Lilies. There seems to be a push to rename plants with unappealing names to sound more garden friendly. Butterfly weed, sometimes called butterfly flower is another example. Whatever you call them though, I like both flowers. Have a great week everyone.
:) Tommy
