Makes  the pleasure longer, Herman!
 You have a super collection.

Thank you Maggi, a lot of flowers still need to come during next weeks.

Maggi, the seedlings that grows in our garden are always more white, never deep pink.

We had 'Purple Heart' from long ago and so we have those genes in the mix.

My Trillium rivale coming into flower at the end of March.  The small patch in the garden (same clone) is starting to flower now.  I have a potful of seedlings coming on so when they reach flowering size it will be interesting to see if there is any variation from a single clone.

Trillium parviflorum (Z14), Trillium albidum (Z51) and Trillium tschonoskii ssp. himalaicum

Roma our Trillium rivale is about as far on as yours. Kurabayashii is still going great guns.  In fact when Brian is carrying it into shows I am reminded of that quote from the Scottish play about Dunsinane Wood on the move.

I had more or less written off T. luteum but it has come through today, obviously waiting for the warmer weather. T. pusillim just going over, and a very small pot of T. albidum (4 flowers) looking great.

I have some flowers on my pot of Trillium rivale with odd petals that are much lighter and less spotted than the rest, on that flower. Some with just 1 petal lighter and another with 2. It was originally given to me as ex Purple Heart, and as far as I know there should be no seedlings in this pot, but odd petals, not the whole flower lighter.

This one seems a little lighter in colour this year. Although it produces many seedlings unfortunately non are as pink as Mom

Herman,
 
 What do the flowers of your simile smell like? Wet dog I bet from the shape of those flowers. If so, it is erectum in the white flowered form which is very common in the southern Appalachians and is mostly called simile. I think the true range of simile is far smaller than reported by Case and Case or Jacobs. My experience is that it follows the amphibolite geology from northeast Georgia into South Carolina and North Carolina. I don't think it occurs in Tennessee at all.

 All that said, simile should have a sweet fragrance that J.K. Small likened to green apples.
