    Woke up this morning to a couple of gems!

    Firstly, Tricyrtis "Taipei Silk". This one is in more shade...................

    The second one in more sun is not such a good colour. It is a root division of the first one...............

    And the first flower on Lilium michauxii for which I must say a big thank you to @simbad ......................

        The first Tricyrtis is always happy times for me. I have a fair collection and the others should be along shortly.
