Thanks for the compliments Paddy and Ashley.Quote from: ian mcenery on March 28, 2011, 07:45:57 PMHi Wim is that Trillium albidum it looks very like the onw I have under this name?Ian, it's not Trillium albidum. T. albidum is completely white. This is a hybrid, being correctly sold as "Trillium western sessile hybrids white pink base".
Hi Wim is that Trillium albidum it looks very like the onw I have under this name?
I grow both forms thogh I bought one as purple stained throat but they both fit Case's description
Ian, there's an amazing density of flowers on that pulsatilla. Have you it on steroids?Paddy

T. albidum is completely white. This is a hybrid, being correctly sold as "Trillium western sessile hybrids white pink base".According to Case albidum comes in two forms,one pure white to creamy white the other soft pink-rose near petal base particularly in plants from the northern Napa Valley regio, mostly plain white in northern California and Oregon'I grow both forms thogh I bought one as purple stained throat but they both fit Case's description

I think the term sessile is used quite a lot as a generic meaning only the positioning of the flowers rather than the species. I bought a T sessile many years ago now a lovely garden weed which is most likely a form of chloropetalum

I bought a T sessile many years ago now a lovely garden weed which is most likely a form of chloropetalumI agree that it is probably a hybrid with chloropetalum genes in it. Maybe the name under which it is sold is confusing but "Trillium western sessile hybrids white pink base" just means that the flower is sessile not that it has T. sessile as a parent. I have the true T. sessile here too but that one is very different from this plant. (Pic here attached (taken in 2009) is true T. sessile).

I have some seed of western sessile hybrids which has just germinated so fingers crossed

The Callens family have produced some wonderful hybrids indeed: here's the link to some pictures of their Trilliums: http://www.greenmilenursery.be/photo_trillium.html. I hope you get some hybrids which are just as beautiful as theirs.
