Trillium 2009

[Lesley Cox]

Here a little plant flowering in the garden. The plant seems of a deeper colour in the flesh.Perhaps even having a strawberry base colouring

This is very nice Ian. I like the way the red colour flushes down into the leaves. I saw some like this in Australia in the southern spring.

Warm enough ,(18c ),for me to be in shorts and tee shirt this afternoon as i built these 3 small raised beds for a number of Trilliums sps seedlings to be planted in the spring.

One of the advantages of being a landscaper ,(and hoarder ),is that i often bring home unwanted materials --i've had these 200 odd used concrete pavers stacked away for about 12 mnths.
Couldn't be bothered leveling the ground or cementing the rows as i prefer the rustic unpolished look.


Cheers dave

oops --
The second pic shows the beds being filled with leafmold/litter.

First pic shows the final effort  --with,(radiata),pine needle/duff covering .

Cheers dave.

.......  part of my program of wretched excess in the garden. 

Ah, nice to see it isn't just me that has this program established, although mine isn't excess by way of drifts of things but rather by way of putting twice as many plants in the area as is physically possible to fit!! 

Well, since we're airing dirty linen, a confession. When I moved to my present house 20⁺ years ago, I decided that I wanted a specific response from garden visitors. Not only "Where did you get that?!", but also "And where did you get so much of it !?"

This happens on occasion. Sometimes the best laid plans gang not agley, Burns notwithstanding!

[Maggi Young]

This is the time when I get Trillium fever!

Mike, lovely clumps you have.... great to  see the variation in the seed grown ones, as well as them being so healthy.

Wow Ian,

The red leaf form is very pretty! Don't have a clue though which Trillium species this is. Maybe when it is flowering it will reveal itself.

Here is another photo of one of my kurabayashii.

Cheers

Ian,

I think the red leaved Trillium is a T. cuneatum. We can be sure when the flower opens.
