Trillium 2012

[Diane Clement]

Yikes!Hail! I hope you've got a cloche over that Trillium?

Oh yes, a big one, 10' x 8'  
     
(it's now in a pot)

[Maggi Young]

Thank goodness for that. Your find is too special to be left to the weather. Goodness knows how much worse it's going to get over the next few days... forecast seems very gloomy.

Best of luck with the plant....will be looking forward to more photos.

If you decide to give it a cultivar name at some stage, I hope you'll give it a name that identifies it as especially your own, not something like 'Hot Lips' or Glowing Red' which could have come from anywhere.

Diane - I do hope that the plant proves to be self fertile and produces lots of viable seed.
I'm really proud of this group of trillium albidum's growing in amongst some martagon lilies.
They all came from a single seed pod sown about 5 or 6 years ago from a selfing of my only plant.
Last week I looked at them by chance after a rain shower on a quiet still evening and was struck by just how scented they were 'en masse'.
It's a fleeting but lovely rose scent. The parent plant was similarly scented but you had to get our nose into the flower to smell it,
Regards,
David

 That,s a lovely group of Albidum.

Mine has only got leaves for the third year running ................Tips anyone?

Other Trilliums do flower reliably.

Yes Karl, the smell is lovely.

Your nine leaf Trillium, which species is it? I guess there is no flower bud?

[John Aipassa]

A few others starting to flower:

1. Trillium erectum from Ontario CA
2. Trillium cuneatum
3. Trillium grandiflorum
4. Trillium albidum with broad petals (huge flowers, notice my thumb)
