Yes, the photo is accurate if you enlarge it. It was odd when I first saw it. It's sitting up against the house which is painted white so all you could see were the darker areas. I initially thought a grasshopper had eaten it and I was seeing a bloom eaten up! A closer examination revealed the more typical Tricyrtis type pattern. I looked in the database and didn't see one posted that's a good look alike. I grew one a few years ago and the photo on the package matched it pretty closely. The spots or blotches were tinted a lot more raspberry red than this one. It appears that there are going to be a lot more blooms coming along. I hope! What forum do these fit in, do you know? Tropical?
