Shady and ruth, 2005 was the first year for us with this Tricyrtis. The flowers aren't much different than those of T. 'Shirohotogisu' http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/75178/index.html, however it does appear to have a more compact habit. I actually observed one plant in those we had growing that had a unique pink bloom. I've separated it from the others to watch this year and see if the color holds true. A true pink Tricyrtis would be a welcome addition to all the other wonderful blooms of this genus.

edited: after loading this picture, I realized it's a poor example of how pink this bloom really was, plus the picture was taken after its peak as the color was starting to fade.
