Toad Lily bloomed today

Purple Beauty Toad Lily with 1" diameter flowers. They like partial shade and many soil types. Good drainage.

I have been waiting forever for this darned plant to bloom. I know it is supposed to bloom in early September through October, which is why I planted it years ago. But, last year it only had 2 blooms (in October.) Right now it has 6 blooms, with a few other flower buds looking like they want to open. Of course, tomorrow is Nor'easter day, so I propped the stems up. We'll see what happens! Aughhhh...
