Flower ID Help

10 years ago

I recently had the opportunity to liberate a number of plants and shrubs from a yard at a recently purchased home that is being completely redone. Please be patient with me as I have a few more I'll add in different posts.

I'm trying to ID the flower in the picture, (it hasn't flowered yet) so I can figure out a good location for it.

Thanks!

who cares what it is ... they will name it for you..

but lets get this straight.. plant them all tonight .. one foot on center.. ANYWHERE ...

and by fall planting time.. you will have the perfect location ...

do NOT hesitate for perfection..

i used to have a 10 foot square nursery bed.. for my collecting habits.. out behind the garage.. didnt really care how they looked the rest of the summer.. life was all i wanted ...

finding the perfect spot.. for what has high odds of being butt ugly due to the emergency transplant.. isnt worth the effort...

or pot them up ... and hold the pots until fall

Wild guess - one of the Disporums? Fleshy plants like this will need a lot of water at transplant.

duh - that makes sense! I had no idea they grew wild here - unless it's an escapee, as it's a bit off the beaten path. Thanks!

Looks like Toad Lily---Tricyrtis. They have small orchid-looking flowers. Shade and moisture.

That's what I thought, toad lily.

Thank you!

Now I have a better idea of where to put 'em...hate to put 'em in sun if it should be in shade.

Behind the garage is only a couple feet deep and full of weeds, rocks and junk from before my time.
