Trillium 2015

[Rimmer de Vries]

some Trillium in bloom now

Trillium cuneatum yellow
Trillium leutum
Trillium discolor- NC
Trillium grandiflorum double
Trillium flexipes?  sulcatum

[Herman Mylemans]

Rimmer, very nice Trilliums.
The yellow cuneatum does it smell like banana? Luteum smells like lemon.

 IMG_9743 seems to be more sulcatum (smell like mushroom) then flexipes.

i wil find someone to determine the smell
 thanks on the ID correction

both the double grandiflorum and the sulcatum were given to me as a dormant pot of Trillium stamineum.  so a nice surprise!

A few weeds have started to flower..........

Trillium nivale and close up.

I love how a number of the eastern species ,(in this case T. cuneatum), have such a dark foliage earlier on.

Finally a Trillium of garden origin which I suspect has some T. kurabayshii blood, just needing some warmth to open. .

It's a very attractive feature, isn't it? I've wondered if it's to help camouflage the emerging shoots to protect them from grazing?

Maybe so Maggi . Natures wonderful isn't it .

The Trillium season here is starting to take off in earnest.

Plain leafed T. kurabayashii and close up

T. angustipetalum with its long narrow petals.

A Trillium of garden origin that I think has some T. kurabayashii blood, that I posted earlier above, now further advanced in flower .

A youngster raised as T. maculatum with yummy foliage just needing a few more days of warmth to open.

Some Trillium rivale .

A large petaled T. rivale in the sand crevice bed .You can just make out the foliage of a Saxifraga which I mistakenly planted in the same spot .... .

Pink T. rivale in a trough surrounded by vegetation .From the size of the Trillium I think it needs feeding .

Again in the crevice sand bed the first flowering of a small patch of a nice T. rivale with dark markings on the leaves, raised from the NZTG seedex .

Dave, at the moment there about 35 sp in our garden. It seems to me that you also have a big collection.
