A garden jewel

As the season races toward Fall, the garden is beginning to retreat. Our annuals are still ablaze with color, but most of the perennials are fading now. Except these: these are Toad Lillies (Tricyrtis sp.). They're called that because the jewel-like flowers are covered in small spots. These are my glories in the late summer and fall - they're beautiful, and they last for about three months.
