From September. Tried a new shade plant this year - "tricyrtis", a.k.a. Toad Lily. Interesting little plant, about one foot tall, with single arching branches, with the blooms in clusters at each leaf axil. It took so long to bloom I thought it was going to be a dud. Then all of a sudden in late September it was covered with these little flowers, each about 1" across. Very cool!

Sweet the coming on
Of grateful evening mild; then silent night
With this her solemn bird and this fair moon,
And these the gems of heaven, her starry train.

[COLOR="Purple"]Nice Christine!
I may have to order some of those for our front bed.

Web info says they are not seen much due to the fact that they bloom in the fall and thus aren't sold with all of the spring bloomers.

I think they are really nice looking!
