The latter looks very much like 'Samurai.' They're a very unique plant, aren't they?<br /><br /><b>Janet ~ </b>Oh, for sure you could use them in your new home, which is going to be in a wonderful location, by the looks of your pictures! I'll bet you're so excited to have it all done and start living there!<br /><br /><b>MMD ~ </b>I'm with ya!<br /><br /><b>flowrgirl1 ~ </b>The more I see, the more I want! Of course, that's just plants in general... LOL<br /><br /><b>sweet bay ~ </b>Thanks! They really are wonderful plants!<br /><br /><b>Shady Gardener ~ </b>I've not yet begun to fall mulch. I'm waiting till our Indian Summer gets here and is over. We'd better get one!<br /><br /><b>Sue ~ </b>I'll bet they will. Morning sun isn't as harsh, so I think they stand a good chance. Mine are in dappled to full shade, so I have no experience in growing them where they get full sun even part of the day.<br /><br /><b>Yolanda Elizabet ~ </b>Oh, you really must find yourself some more! Anyone that has the kind of green thumb you do can't be without some. I'm sure it was the garden gremlins that absconded with your toad lilies! Shame on them.<br /><br /><b>Carolee ~ </b>Oh I DO love it. I especially love the deep purple coloring of the blooms, and the cream edge to the foliage. You'd mentioned you got some new ones. I'm jealous, you know! I have to go outside the area to find them in person, so I always look around when we're out of town. You can be sure I'll be watching for new ones next year. Will you be carrying many? I've seen photos of a yellow-blooming one and it was GORGEOUS. Must have...<br /><br /><b>Lisa ~ </b>Thanks, Lisa! I need to get over to your blog and see if you've posted pictures of any in your own garden?<br /><br /><b>Frances ~ </b>Oh you HAVE to get some for fairegarden! 'Sinonome' is lovely, but the most vigorous grower is the 'Miyazake.' I think my favorite blooms are those of 'Tojen,' though they aren't speckled.<br /><br /><b>Daisy ~ </b>Yep, very cool. Get some! :-)<br /><br /><b>Anna ~ </b>It is quite exotic, for sure. I think that's why it appeals to most people, regardless of where they garden. Oh yes, the kitties! I just got some sugar from Lily. :-)Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-83128524515886093542009-10-14T20:05:46.226-04:002009-10-14T20:05:46.226-04:00It's an exotic looking plant and that's a ...It's an exotic looking plant and that's a hard look to achieve in our neck of the woods.

There will grow in our zone I see, shade is a little hard to come by, but there might be a place for them.

Also added a variegated "Impress" and "Blue Wonder" and a couple with HUGE yellow blooms.

Tricyrtis 'Empress' (it looks a little like your beautiful Sinonome~~big speckled flowers) and what was labeled as Gilt Edge...It's a chartreuse foliaged beauty with very small flowers.
