Do You Recognize This Trillium??
Slightly larger than life size:
http://www.paghat.com/images/trilliumUNKNOWN_apr.jpg 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. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher. "Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature. -from Peter Newell's "Wild Flowers" See the Garden of Paghat the Ratgirl: http://www.paghat.com/ |

It could very well be a cholorpetalum - the flowers resemble others I have
seen as they can be quite variable in appearance. The photo is not clear enough to detect any marbleing on the leaves - is there any apparent? Does the flower have a pleasant fragrance? If yes to both, I'd go with chloropetalum or perhaps a hybrid with chloropetalum parentage. This also seems to be one of the more common species available for sale in this area. If not, my choice might be Trillium viride, but that is a sessile form also and I've not seen one in bloom. pam - gardengal "paghat" wrote in message news Slightly larger than life size: http://www.paghat.com/images/trilliumUNKNOWN_apr.jpg 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.
