Trillium chloropetalum album i guess.....

Roland

I don't know which one to choose!
Roland, I can detect a faint but pleasant fragrance. Does that exclude chloropetalum?

The diff. when it comes to Trillium seeds.....All from the same seed pod......

[Maggi Young]

Super selection of seed raised plants, Jonny - I hope this and other pictures here tempt more folks to try these plants from seed ;

[Lesley Cox]

But sow it fresh as possible and keep moist at all times. You may wait, otherwise for up to 8 years or more, for germination.

Yup no two are ever the same

Here from me an old plant of grandiflorum

[Jonny_SE]

Regarding Trillium seeds and sowing...fresh seeds is a must...and by fresh it's a matter of weeks not months...i never save my potts more than max 3-4 years..if they don't germinate by that time they turn to compost here...and seed vitality are diff from spices to species...(or if it's my clones that are more or less good)...But this Trillium vaseyi hyb. is "Bulletproof" when it comes to give good seeds....i always finde hundreds of seedling around them every year...

I don't have chloropetalum album in flower this year
but my Trillium albidum has a pleasant fragrance
Maybe one of the other members noticed if T. chloropetalum album is perfumed

If no-one minds, I'll add some southern hemisphere Trilliums here? 

A few years ago a friend gave me a polybox of Trillium albidum seedlings.  Obviously there had been some hybridising going on her garden as there have been a selection of colours appear amongst the seedlings.  I'd always wanted that pinky purple colour, so I was VERY pleased.  %$%

Here's some of the results.

And Trillium albidum, at least that is what I've been told it is.

Also rivale in the bottom right.

[Maggi Young]

Great trilliums, Paul - and without the usual holes chomped in the leaves that we often suffer!
