Trillium 2021

[Herman Mylemans]

Trillium season is starting!
Here always Trillium nivale is the first. Pity that the weather is unstable, low temperature and there has been a lot of rain, even a day with hail.
A lot of other Trilliums have emerged and are waiting for better times!

Very beautiful Herman.  Spring may be slow for you. Here we are still in winter weather.

Beautiful, Herman, with all the lovely hepaticas too.

What a nice display Herman, Trilliums with Hepatica together!
We don't get to see such combination, or at least I don't because the majority of species I have flower long after the Hepatica. Only T. nivale would be so early but I didn't manage to find any to purchase here (or seeds).

I think so too! So pretty view.

Thank you all! This Trillium ovatum form is much earlier then my other ovatum on another place in the garden. I once was forgotten to remove the berries, so you see now a lot of seedlings. On the first picture you see Trillium chloropetalum var. giganteum on the background, this one is earlier then the ovatum.

Gabriella, till now I have never seen good seeds on my Trillium nivale. I don't know why.

This species doesn't come as far north into Canada, who knows why, it is hardy enough. But I know that in its native habitat grows on gravelly, mineral substrate, including g limestone bluffs and crevices.
But it seems to flower well in your garden, it may be a lack of pollinators because it flowers so early.

I will use a brush and see if it helps. The other problem was that if there were seeds they didn’t mature.

Trillium ovatum

[Claire Cockcroft]

This clump of Trillium chloropetalum can be depended upon to put on a good display.  This was originally a pot of seedlings from an AGC-BC seed exchange.

Trillium cuneatum is interesting even without flowers due to its mottled foliage.

Trillium ovatum, our native.
