This was sold to me as Trillium chloropetalum, but if that is what it is,
it is nothing like the T. chloropetalum I've seen before. This one has
reflexed purplish-green petals atop green sepals, & bright yellow anthers.
It was supposed to be sessile (stemless), but it has a short stem between
flower & leaf. The plant is now three years old & bloomed for the first
time this month (April).

If anyone knows what it is I'd sure be glad.

"Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature.
