Toad Lily

Purchased from SpringHillNursery, 3 for $10, because of their site's picture: Because these are shade plants, we moved out a Knockout Rose which was not getting enough sun and put these in its place. Turns out that the flowers are so small (less than 1") that you can barely see them. You certainly don't get the visual effect that the greatly magni- fied catalog pictures indicate. Also, 2 of the 3 died, though they looked okay starting off. SpringHill is replacing them.

After limbing up the Japanese Maple, a couple of Amethystina Toad Lilies were added.
We planted these in a raised area, so the flowers will show up a little better.

Three replacements were received from Springhill. Due to lack of room where the others were planted, these were planted in the shade by the driveway:
