Perfect :) I have a nice clump of yellow ones and another clump of burgundy ones that are about half that size after 6 years undisturbed, but I'm tempted to start propagating them :)

Hi Chris
Could you post picture's of your red and yellow Trilliums
I have never seen the yellow, and the red one I do have isn't all that impressive in my mind

Beautiful plant Ed. Sure good to be back and see some of your beautiful plants again. OC likes your Daylily seedlings. His have put up leaves but blooming is still almost a month away.

I love wild Trillium, they come up every Spring up in our trees. They last for quite a while and then they die bacl. I have never ordered any others. I also have Lamb's Tongue, Piggy Back and a couple of others I don't know the name of. We don't mow up there until all the wild flowers are done blooming. :D
Lovin' the great northwest!

Very nice. Trilium is Ontario's emblem, i think the white one.

I have small clump, illegal migrants from NCC greenbelt to my backyard fence. I think there were white trillium and red trillium. I will get my camera ready for next spring.
