These fall flowers are an enchanting addition to any garden with their unusual orchidlike shape. Plant Toadlilies where you can view them close up ~ their small flowers and delicate colors will get lost from too far off. For best results in areas with harsh winters, plant in a sheltered location with plenty of mulch or compost protecting the roots. These plants are pretty low maintenance.

I've got to try these. Our daughter's name is Liliana and we always try to do the lilly thing!

I haven't ~ I actually just saw them in a magazine. I don't have any place shady or moist enough for them to survive.
