Stephen  - Here's a pic from last year. The leaves were not their best due to months of rain and no sun.

I think this dry spring has intensified the leaf colouration.

Very nice form, John!
Mark, you are a little ahead of me - my pusillum lacks a day or two to open properly. Got several plants from a friend last year and they have all overwintered unscathed in the pots. haven't dared to plant them out yet - afraid of slugs!

John; Beautiful dark cuneatum.

We've had cold weather but none of my Trillium has been damaged. I look forward to see my new Trillium with special leaves.

My pusillums are in troughs. As for slugs I feed them their favourite food - slug pellets

Stilts - I could have done with them years ago. There isnt a day go by that I dont stand on or kick over a pot
Amazon sells stilts  ;D http://www.amazon.co.uk/Junior-Hold-on-Wooden-stilts/dp/B005J4MLWW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1334227955&sr=8-2

Finally caught up with this topic.  Some breathtaking stuff in here.  The range of the wild chloropetalums was amazing, just for starters.

John, when those dark Trillium continue to emerge, could you please share pics with us?  They look almost black at this stage.  Never seen anything like it before.

Min winter temp -8 or -9°C. Max summer temp 40°C. Thankfully, maybe once or twice a year only.

Slug pellets make the slugs stronger and bigger seemingly :-\
And for the stilts, if you step into a pot you'll get a nice hole to put a new plant in ;)
