You're probably right about beauty and the beholder, nothing else explains why I've had three wives. But, yeah, toad lilies are kind of ugly, which is their main attraction, I think. I grew them on the balconies of DC and tried to grow them in Florida, which was one of my first failures. I just send an email to the best non-box local nursery; figured I'd see advice what they have to offer.

Toadlilies Ugly? I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Zones 4 to 8 and they like consistent moisture. I'd think your location would be pretty good for them.
I forgot to mention the Zebra Mallow. They're not quite hardy here but always self sow. They're quite showy right now. Oh, and spiderworts have come out of their summer slumber to bloom again. Looking good.

I'd forgotten all about toad lilies. Love them, the ugly little
suckers. They should grow here, right? Think I'll try to find some.

I had to have a seious talk with my October Daphne the other day.
It's nearly November and she hadn't opened her buds yet.  But today
she just started to perk up and some buds are open.

Annuals giving a last hurrah include cosmos, nicotiana, and moss
rose. Perrenials looking good now include toadlilies, Eupatorium
Chocolate, some lovely fall crocus.  Also my spring-planted Pacific
Chrysanthemums have lots of buds.  Hope they open soon.
