Not long ago, I discovered a couple of types of Toad Lilies at Green Spring Gardens. About a week later, I was photographing at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond and found another variety of toad lily – the Thojen Toad Lily (tricyrtis).
Like the other toad lilies I’ve photographed – the structure of the flowers of the Thojen Toad Lily is incredible. Here’s a close up view of one of the blossoms to give you a sense of amazing structure.

And here are a couple of photographs of a cluster of Thojen Toad Liles growing along a stem.

I found the Thojen Toad Lilies along the Woodland Walk in early October. There were several of the toad lilies growing in the area. So if you’re at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in the early fall – be sure to keep an eye out for the Thojen Toad Lileis.
