If you thought Lilies only bloomed in the spring or early summer I have one for you that blooms during Autumn. It’s called the Toad Lily:
These little beauties are just starting to form buds and only a few have begun to bloom. However in a week or so they will all be in bloom and what a pretty sight that will be! I love the Toad Lilies freckled petals. They are so tiny and delicate.
I must admit that the plant isn’t much to look at as it grows through the summer, but once it begins to bloom it becomes one of the stars of my Fall garden.
Do any of you grow any of the Toad Lily species?

Great suggestion and a truly beautiful little flowers. Its nice to have some autumn flowering plants. They can look so vibrant against the changing autumn foliage of other plants
Those are beautiful! I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Toad Lilies before!
A delightful flower, Tricia.
Love this flower and I don’t have it presently but will look for it next spring
Great photo. Thanks for the tip. Going through the GTS list is really getting burdensome, especially when so few of the blogs have GTS posts, and some are just advertising sites. Some are even dangerous to enter as they put spyware on your computer. It never occured to me to use the RSS feed.

I really like toad lilies! What is this variety you’ve shown? My GTS post is up… My ‘Lightning Strikes’ tricyrtis is blooming! 🙂
Very pretty flower indeed. I will definately have to research and post an article. Thank you for the post and an awesome picture.
