Looking for a plant that blooms in the fall AND in the shade? You'll want to add toad lilies to your list! Andy Brand, our director of horticulture, tells us why toad lilies, or Tricyrtis spp., are such a great addition to the garden. | Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens

Are you looking for a sturdy Toad lily that is covered in flowers come fall? Tricyrtis 'Fluffy Orchid' is just that! Sturdy stems are clothed in dark green, thick, fuzzy foliage all summer. Starting in October, top half of the stems is covered in clusters of large, heavily spotted flowers - a bumblebee delight! This toad lily cultivar is very heat tolerant and makes an excellent cut flower. Zones: 5a to 10b. https://www.plantdelights.com/products/tricyrtis-fluffy-orchid | Plant Delights Nursery,

Bloom alert! 🪷 Water lilies and lotuses have started blooming in Lily Pool Terrace. The pools are planted with nearly 100 varieties of hardy and tropical water-lilies and sacred lotuses. Lotuses can resemble water-lilies, but lotus flowers and leaves tend to stretch above the surface instead of floating. BBG gardener Wayken Shaw estimates these blooms will continue blooming beautifully through August. Follow our socials and subscribe to our email newsletter for more updates. | Brooklyn Botanic
