I’ve photographed Toad Lilies (tricyrtis X sinimone) on a couple of occasions in recent years. Each time I see them, I’m reminded of what unusual flowers they have.

Toad lilies are members of the Lily family native to the Himilayas and Eastern Asia. They tend to be late-summer/fall blooming perennials. Here in the US, they can be grown in USDA zones 5a to 9b.
