Very nice collection of different Trilliums, I liked the white ones most.

I'm a little worried about my T.luteum, planted last autumn, because it hasn't come up yet. T.chloropetalum var giganteum is already opening it's flowers and T.parviflorum, also planted last autumn, is on bud. I was hoping that T.luteum would be just later, and that is why it hasn't come up, but in Thorkild's pictures they are all flowering at the same time.
Can Trilliums rest one year after planting and then still come up the next year like some bulbs?

Hello Leena
Yes I do believe they can jump over a year.

Leena, here too T. luteum emerges only after T. chloropetalum and others have almost finished.  Fingers crossed that yours is just waiting for the stage to clear

Leena I have the same experience as Ashley here luteum has only just come through while chlorapetalum is finishing and yes I have had some trillium tubers lie dormant in the past but this, if my memory is correct,  has occurred after they were moved

A nice group of T. stramineum blooming in my garden now.  These came from Richard Vagner's former collection;  I'm not sure where Richard got them, but they are not native to Richard's old home on Gatlinburg, Tennessee.  They come from farther west and south, from south-central Tennessee southward along the Alabama-Mississippi state line.



I'm gratified that they are not only surviving but blooming here in my northern garden in central Indiana.

Thank you for giving me hope.
It seemed strange that it would have died, because I had read that T.luteum is more hardy than T.chloropetalum which has done fine the last two years, so I'll keep an eye on it.

Here is T.chloropetalum var giganteum 'Album' today

Some of mine from today.

T. grandiflorum
T. grandiflorum 'Flore Pleno' from a kind forumist a couple of years ago - first time flowering for me.

And a couple more.

T. rugelii - if only all the flowers would faceupwards
T. undulatum - this appears every year but never increases - such a shame

Thorkild,

Your Trilliums are fabulous.

I promised photographs of T. angustipetalum and T. albidum - from our wild populations. I'm sure that I have missed the bloom of T. angustipetalum. Trillium albidum grows farther up the mountain and I still might catch it in bloom this season. The drought and strange weather has caused some of our native plants to bloom much earlier this season.

Anyway, thanks for sharing the photos - everyone.
