Trillium 2015

[ian mcenery]

Ian, yours is darker pink than mine.

Herman thank you.

I think this is the Gothenberg form and for me it is quite deep in colour and even deeper before it opens and I showed  a photo shown a couple of years ago here of it emerging

Trillium grandiflorum roseum variations are briefly talked about in this "mixed planting" video supplement to the Bulb Log  from Ian Young ( http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=12953.msg330788#msg330788)

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.

Aaron, I have smelled at the Trillium simile, it is not the same smell as Trillium erectum. The plant original came from the late Kate Dryden (Manavilins Engeland). I have added a berry from previous year.

Thorkild DK.

Very nice Trillium's Thorkild, especially the chloropetalum volcano.

[Leena]

So beautiful Trilliums you all have.
Here my few are still in bud, and like last year T.luteum has not come up yet, but now I'm more patient with it as it was so late also last year.

Finally managing to get some Trilliums established here: Trillium erectum.

[Herman Mylemans]

Today a discovery between my Trillium grandiflorum. It is a self sowing plant.

Herman you have a nice collection

Thank you Ian, but there are still a lot that I am looking after to complete my collection (wild forms).
