Positive rcn48 On Feb 17, 2006, rcn48 from Lexington, VA (Zone 6a) wrote:

A vigorous Tricyrtis that forms an attractive mound of speckled foliage topped with multiple branched sprays of "orchid-like" blooms in late summer, early fall. Originally thought to be T. formosana 'Amethystina' found by John Elsley. Recently re-collected from the mountains of Taiwan and correctly identified as T. lasiocarpa.
