Toad Lily - Tricyrtis formosana

Very, very pretty. I like this.

i do like these a bit differant

I've tried to grow these so often but have now given up.

Thank you my first time with them Toto supposed to like a woodland setting with dappled shade so lets hope they over winter .. growing between coprosma which not supposed to be fully hardy but survived last winter.

Yes Sandra .. small versions of lily like flowers on a perennial shrub worth a try perhaps under your tree if you ve any room left now..

If it doesn't work under your tree Sandra I'm willing to take it's place but don't tell Baz.

Toto you tart........stop being so Essex.....Its beautiful Bonkers....

im sure i could sqeeze some in BB

Milky I did nt realise Toto came from Treacle town lmao they will go with any thing but its normally the woman or has Toto changed into a jam tart he he Tis a beautiful flower I was going to buy one of ebay.

just seen that toto lol :o))

Beautiful little thing BB.

I don't care. Love all you ladies.

Thanks Gt ..just saw your comment amongst us crazies ..lol

MORGANA.....dont talk about Toto like that....saying he's from Treacle Town.....! He;s my friend......Poor lovely Toto.....and just to let you know....I AM AN ESSEX GIRL.......and we dont all wear American Tan Tights and white shoes.....

lol milky, do they still make american tan tights milky heheh, gosh thats a long time ago

Thanks Milky. We from Gods County must stick together but I think that you may of gone to far in saying that I'm your friend, the rest of GOY will think your nuts.

LOL.

Seriously, Bb's photo is great! :-))

thanks Spritz...I do try to submit the odd flower ! But judging by these comments..dont know why I bother ! Lol

aww........................see what you have done you lot..upsetting BB....
your little flower is beautiful..

PLEASE don't stop, Bb! I agree with Deida - it's lovely and I'd like to see more of your flowers! :-))

I think it's beautiful Bonkers !!! Now I have to run outside and see if mine are in bloom. You're going to love having it in the garden being it flowers when not much else is in bloom. It going to look right at home in your woodland garden !

He he no upset Deida - Spritz just saying the conversations take on a way of their own whatever I submit ..certainly not in a position to complain some of the comments I make lol

Thanks Flower amidst your Nigella which a little beaten by the rain but still happy ..Jane been out today taking lots of cuttings so hopefully we can return some of the favours we been sent ..

I thank you Jane ! Hope you know that it's not necessary though, I just love seeing something I had growing in my garden last year growing happily in a friend's garden thousands of miles away !....;-)

Oh, I DO agree with you, Flcrazy! Great feeling!

BB ~ This little flower is cute. :o)

A gorgeous little flower, very pretty colour too!

It's gorgeous BB .. I bought one last year and there's no sign of it this year sob sob :o(

Thanks Flower and Spritz kind words and sure theres not much in our garden you dont have but nice to be able to offer if if you dont need it ...

Thanks TT and PP from BB ..

Oh supposed to be quite tough Amy but dont despair I managed to over winter Coprosmas and Spritz lost hers .. so even the best lose the odd one ..

Thats very encouraging BB . Thanks , I feel a lot better for that :o)

You re welcome Amy .. not sure Spritz will thank me for the reminder but hey with a garden like hers and living up here she might forgive me the odd success lol

LOL.. it's nice to be on a winning side sometimes isn't it BB

Anyway i've searched amongst my Hosta's and have found my Toad Lily .. it's alive and well and even has a bud on it so .. watch this space ..LOL ..

Oh, I love these BB.......great for the end of summer...and really exotic looking....:o) Pleased you found yours Amy...remember you getting it last year....

Bonkersbon - We've had these a few years now, but we do grow them in pots. That does give us the advantage of being able to a more sheltered & warmer spot for the winter.

Glad you found it Amy ..yes Janey nice gap fillers this time of year when other things fading ..hope they not too tender Meanie as need to get used to Yorkshire climate .

i grow them in east yorks and they do come year on year.

Thats good to know Sbg....there is definitely hope for ours too then !!

oh yes def.

Lovely Bb,I bought some this year but sadly no flowers after reading this I`ll try them again in the shady part...........

So pleased to see one in the flesh, it is a beauty, looked at them on ebay this year but was wary, might give them a try now.

Lovely shot. I took some close ups of my toad lilies at the weekend but all came out blurred. I haven't got you knack. Yours were obviously earlier than mine to flower. There's still only a few open now!

Its beautiful!
Can someone tell me where Treacle Town is???

I've grown these toad lilly's and just love them. They are buried under a few feet of snow in the winter and still manage to come through. Mine are grown in the shade and usually bloom from late August till frost in November which is a long bloom time when not much else is going on,

Thanks for the info regarding snow Valerie...we have had a lot over last few weeks and its good to know they will come back.Ours are in semi shade...which seems to suit........
