Trillium rivale puts on quite a show both in the garden and in pots.  Here is a brief sample.

[Claire Cockcroft]

Trillium chloropetalum has been in full bloom for quite a while and is floppy from all the rain we've had. 


Trillium cuneatum stands up a little better. 


Trillium pusillum is still emerging, while Trillium albidum is just starting.

[Herman Mylemans]

Very nice Trilliums Claire, here it is only nivale that has flowers.

Hi Claire

I was looking only today at the Trillium rivale seedlings from your 2013 seed. Not sure how long they will take to get to the size of a heaving pot of the T. r. "Purple Heart" (type) that I also have emerging from the soil.
This species increases readily when well grown. Unfortunately it can disappear almost as quickly when things go wrong. This current pot are plants that I passed on to a friend and was then able to get some back  a year or two later after a disaster.

Hi Claire

I have also seedlings from seeds from Claire (thank you again!), they are still in pot and I was thinking about planting them in the ground this spring, but what would be the best place for them? Similar fertile well drained place as with other trilliums, or can they tolerate dryer conditions? Perhaps planting them in the edge of a bed because they are small?

Leena, mine grows in a rockgarden in the shade, so they can tolerate dryer conditions (in shade). Have you read "BULB LOG 14.........................4th April 2012", it is all about rivale.

Thank you Herman and Maggi for the link.  I read that bulb log I remember reading it also earlier, and perhaps that was why I had thought that I could plant them in my dryish shade bed, which is good for early spring plants. Ian's plants  between the rocks is very inspiring.

Thanks for the link Maggi, very interesting.

While many of you are enjoying mid-late May blooming trillium, we are just beginning our season with the snow trillium.

This is the "Indiana form" given to me by Fred Case several years ago.  I have seen this same wide petal form in Ohio growing in a ravine on moss covered limestone boulders.

Nice T. rivale colours, Claire

Thanks for the Bulb Log link, Maggi.  Amazing what variety you get from seed.
