This is a rare Paris plant, it blends so well in the woodland garden. This paris is related to the trillium.

That is so weird - I have never heard of this plant before, and I just saw it earlier today on the Wayside Gardens website - and now here it is again! Has yours bloomed? How long have you had it? It really looked unusual - very cool.

I just bought it. It will probably take a while to bloom. I hear they are hard to grow........ so far so good though. I would love to have a dozen of them. There are many varieties of the Paris plant.

What a pretty plant! Hard to grow, huh? Well..it better avoid my garden.
Good luck with it, David. I can't wait to see what the blooms look like.

Very nice David! I'm gonna have to get up there in person to see that, aren't I? Once my foot is up to a visit, I'll give you a call. Very nice photo!
