Can anyone identify this flower?
said:
For the second year in a row, this plant has flowered in my garden. I don't remember planting it and have no idea what it is or how it got there. Pretty sure it's not a weed though. It only started flowering a week ago but is in a very shady location, sort of a hosta-type area for sunlight. Am considering replanting it to a sunnier location next spring if it will tolerate more sun. It's a variety Japanese Toad Lily (_Trycirtis_ species, possibly T. hirta). Best in a woodland or part-shade garden (morning sun rather than afternoon sun). An assortment of Toad Lilies to look at here (scroll down): http://www.plantdelights.com/Catalog/Fall/page67.html I have some growing along my brick path, along with other shade plants, and it's blooming right now. -- Pat K.
