What's Blooming Today


Our native prairie trillium (recurvatum), with its deep oxblood flowers. Posted by Hello

Very pretty spotting on the leaves. How many trilliums do you have? Sometime you're going to have to do a post on how you've accumulated all this stuff - it's an impressive collection.

Hope you're not getting any kind of cold blast there - we're kind of chilly today and tomorrow.
 
Wayne,
Well, some of the plants acquired me rather than vice versa; the prairie trilliums, grandiflora, cuneatum, and nodding trillium grow all over the woods, and I garden around them.I don't know how many different trilliums I've got... I'll count them this evening, strolling with my Bud Light.

Well, this is the list of trilliums I came up with this evening: grandiflora, sulcatum, vaseyi, simile, undulatum, recurvatum, kurabayashi, castebaei, luteum, cernuum, underwoodii, and cuneatum.
 
Lotsa trilliums! We have catesbei growing in the wild here, but it never flowers. I moved some into the protected area around the house a few years ago, and now they come up (just did, in fact), complete with flower bud, which opens a couple weeks later. It's one of my favorites.
