Kiss this toad

POSTED BY KIM — October is the month to celebrate toad lilies as they bloom in all their glory.  Tricyrtis have a wonderful almost horizontal branching habit that is lined with blooms.  This one looks like a small shrub — it’s about 2 feet tall.

A little known fact is that toad lilies are so named because the flower attracts frogs.
(Kidding!)
