Here are a few from the garden (one's still in a pot. Can you tell which one?) I've also got erectum album, cuneatum and sessile but they're not blooming and recurvatum I just forgot about.

Great shots! I love those grandiflorums! One of my favorite places is a woodland absolutely paved with grandiflorums with some parviflorum var. parviflorum interspersed.

Is that Hexastylis sp. in the background of some of the shots?

Thats Asarum europeum, Cowbite. Fast becoming my favorite non-native groundcover. It spreads moderately fast and is low enough that it doesn't overwhelm other plants.

Hey Shady,

I'd love to come see your collection sometime. I agree, trilliums are really cool woodland plants. There's nothing like seeing a few acres of these in bloom at one time - a life altering experience! The flexipes is awesome.

makes me homesick for Illinois...it is mushroom hunting season there right now. I miss the Mayapples, bloodroot blooming...wild violets, trilliums and of course the morels!!!
Thanks for sharing the wonderful pics!:urock:

Those are great Shady. I'm trying to get some established in my yard. There's some good stands of these in TN woods too.
