Toad

Tricyrtis hirta, the Hairy Toad lily was looking splendid today. It is not however looking like any toad I’ve ever met, hairy or otherwise.

An ugly name for such a beautiful lily.

Perhaps toads can be gorgeous, is this one hardy? Will it survive on my stony clay?

  It is hardy, I think, slugs and snails adore it, think it likes hummus rich, don’t we all?!

    Hmmm, slugs & snails bit very tricky here, we have recently spotted a thrush for the first time and hope she stays. Could also do with a few more (like maybe 100) toads of the warty variety.
