Yoors Flower Parade, day 40

Today at the Flower Parade, the Tricyrtis, or mushroom lily.
However, I know the plant as Poor Luis Orchid.
Why the plant is called Orchid seems clear to me: the flowers have an Ochidee-like beauty.
And the plant is very affordable, so poor people can also afford it...

The plant has been out of grace for a while, but again completely in fashion.
There are many colors of this plant.
Ours is, as you can see in the pictures, wants with purple tipped.
My father once saved him from a compost heap.

Originally the plant comes from Japan and China, in the Netherlands it manages to keep up well.
The plant is about 60 cm high on average.
The plant blooms in September-October.
