Trillium 2013

Only just started to try a few Trilliums - T. sessile in flowers, only planted last autumn.

I have grown the double form of Trillium grandiflorum for many years, and this is the first year for many that I have not had 1 aborted flower bud. It has obviously approved of this long cold winter. They are just beginning to open. Should be just right for Malvern show, if I can get up that early to get there. It is 2 or so hours away. I bought it from Bressingham before Snow Bunting was named so can't say if it is or not the same clone.

Hi,
I grew a potful of seedlings of a nice white T. albidum a few years ago and they are now mature.
I was expecting 100% pure white flowers like the parent but  I now appear to have some reds and dark pinks in the progeny.
They are later to mature and produce flowers than the white forms.
However they certainly have impact - the leaves are very well marked.
Does albidum out cross? anyone else with similar experiences?
First photo one of the groups of seedlings.
2nd and 3rd photos are two individual seedlings.
There is some variation in flower colour in the 'reds' but not much. No clear pinks!
Regards,
David

Hi,
this one has the best contrasting leaves,

Hi Ralph - Your Trillium is definitely a sessile type, however, it is not T. sessile.  I'm fairly sure your Trillium is T. cuneatum.  As shown in the photo, the flower petals of T. sessile are almond shaped and curve toward each other in a closed position.

In greenhouse marvellously blooms Trillium kurabayashii (purple) and Trillium albidum - white with variable leaves - some mottled and some plain green.
In pot - Trillium angustitepalum which I got from New Zealand.

I thought my double Trillium grandiflorum that I took into our local AGS group meeting on Friday was quite good with 28 flowers, some 8 cm across, but then I forgot about the single flowered plant showed at the East Anglia show last week, and again this weekend at Malvern, with over 80 flowers. Quite stunning. Best in show at both shows, and Farrer last week.

Here is a picture of the trillium in full bloom. They are fading now and have turned kind of muddy green on the second photo.
