TRICYRTIS (Toad Lily)

The common name of toad lily is rather unfortunate for such an attractive and unusual flower.  The amphibian reference really refers to the blotches and markings on the flowers.  The genus name is from the Greek for "three" and "convex" because the 3 outer petals have tiny bags or swellings at the base.
