This unusual and interesting plant caught my eye in a recent bulb sale: It looks like a cross between an orchid and a passion flower, but has the unfortunate name of toad lily.
I think it is rather beautiful & exotic and look forward to studying it more closely, when I have my very own home-grown ones: A hardy perennial with a preference for shade and moist soil, I have the perfect spot for it. It normally flowers in late summer / autumn.
