Is it a pure white one? The white ones really stand out in the shade garden! I have a white mutation out of an old batch of Tricyrtis hirta that got huge this year but still haven't bloomed. I really hope they bloom before it freezes...

Thanks for sharing!

Chris,
Yes, it is a pure white one. You can see it a long way away. I meant to comment on how beautiful the ones in your pictures were. Wow! One of the speckled ones is next.

LG, yes, they go to the end of each stem. There was a bumblebee really going crazy over each flower. I am sure it is one of the last things blooming to buzz.

I did not think it would bloom this year because early in the Spring somebody trimmed it to about 8-9 inches. Maybe that was a good thing.

Thanks for your comments.
