Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This unique toad lily has delicate pink orchid-like flowers with only a hint of spotting near the base of the petals. Toad lilies are wonderful plants for the late summer and fall shade garden. Most grow on elegant arching stems often with lightly mottled foliage. They produce multitudes of ornate orchid-like flowers that are usually white (sometimes yellow) with various degrees of purple spotting.
