Toad Lilies (Tricyrtis) - a photo on Flickriver

Tricyrtis is a genus of the botanical family Liliaceae (lily family), known in English as Toad Lilies, supposedly because many varieties have purple spotted, orchidlike flowers.
There are 16 different species and about 55 cultivars. Its native range is from the eastern Himalayas to eastern Asia, including China, Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippine Islands.
Toad lilies mainly grows in woods but can also be found in mountainous areas and on cliff sides.
Tricyrtis in general are late summer to late autumn flowering plants whose very exotic starry or bell-shaped flowers (7 to 12 cm) are borne on attractive arching stems, very similar to an orchid and passion flower. These occur in a wide range of forms usually spotted with a contrasting color.

Tricyrtis is een bloemengeslacht van lelieachtigen (Liliaceae), bekend onder de namen paddelelie en armeluis orchidee, maar ook tuinorchidee en bosorchidee. Er zijn 16 verschillende soorten bekend en ongeveer 55 kweekvormen. Met de naam bosorchidee wordt al een tipje van de natuurlijke vindplaats van deze bloemen opgelicht, namelijk de bosrijke berggebieden en ravijnen van de oostelijke Himalaya tot de eilanden voor de kust van oostelijk Azië (Japan, Taiwan en de Filippijnen).
Tricyrtis bloeit in het algemeen van de late zomer tot ver in de herfst. De langwerpige soms gevlekte bladeren zitten rechtop aan overhangende stengels. De trechter-, ster- of klokvormige 7 à 12 cm grote bloemen kunnen wit, geel, blauw of paars zijn en zijn meestal contrastrijk gespikkeld.
Een Tricyrtis is geen orchidee, maar voor 100 % een lelie.
De bloemen hebben in uiterlijk wel iets van een orchidee en een passiebloem, vandaar de populaire, maar verwarring gevende naam "armeluis orchidee".
