A couple of Trilliums emerging with interesting foliage tonight - T. cuneatum & T. albidum selections by the late Don Armstrong of Vancouver, BC.

As a follow-up to my posting on the 29 April 2008 of Don Armstrong's good T. cuneatum, here it is in flower today. what a change on the foliage.

I see from this page ( and the Paeony pages) that Mr Don Armstrong has a very good eye for a plant!
These fat T. cuneatum flowers are super.....do they set good seed, perchance?

Maggi - I'm not sure when they ripen but send me an email when you think they might be ready. If they set seed you'll get some.

A fine Trillium in the garden of Bodil Larsen, Outer Cove, Newfoundland yesterday. I was surprised to see Podophyllum delavayi surviving in her garden.

I too would like to show the Trillium 

1. Trillium grandiflorum
2. Trillium luteum
3. Trillium sulcatum
4. Trillium camschatcense = T. rhombifolium

Is still here such interesting Trillium 
We have defined it as a variation Trillium sessile.
It differs from usual

They are all beautiful Anastasia. It is lovely to have these very long seasons for each species. I think trilliums and the lovely things on the Tromso thread are well past now in the UK and Europe but they are still flowering in Russia and Norway. It seems as if spring could go on for ever.
