Some flowers make a big splash in my garden; blooming with abandon; getting raves reviews from all who see them.But some are shy, quiet plants; growing quietly in the shady corners. One of these little jewels is my toad lily. I have no idea why anyone would name these lovely blooms for a toad, but a lily is a lily no matter what inspired its name.
My toad lily is small, only about 12 inches tall; and most of the year, it is only a modest arching stem but come the fall, the
toad lily launches this amazing display of tiny, orchid-like blooms. It is definitely worth waiting for!
