Trillium 2015

[Carolyn]

Trillium nivale is in flower here too - but protected in the greenhouse! I'll be getting the paintbrush out to pollinate it - it would be nice to have enough to try it in the open garden.

Still no flowers on my two from seed planted in 2008. 

Maybe next year!

I do have a few more seedlings from seed planted in 2013 but they're at the single leaf stage.

Fairly confident of the identification. I'll see if I can dig out an image for others to pass judgement.

From Peter K. :  " a picture of what we grew as Trillium kurabayashi. (There was a query that we had such rapid growth of this species - the plant shown would have been in its fourth season). I tend to accept John Mattingley's identification (Plants were raised from seed from Cluny) but it would be good to have members' opinions."

You need to have a picture from the ovary or from a berry from previous year.

What are the distinguishing features Herman?
I struggle to tell TT. kurabayashii & chloropetalum apart.

Ashley have you seen the pdf that I have made? http://www.gentians.be/index.php?page=exchange and download plants for exchange.

I use my nose to identify Trillium kurabayashii.  In my garden, a T. chloropetalum flower has a pleasant scent, while a T. kurabayashii flower has a chemical smell like turpentine.

Trillium nivale, 7 days later.

Very lovely, Herman- if you ever have a few seeds to spare, I would be most grateful to have some!

If there will be seeds I will think about you. In the past seedsetting was not very good.

[Maggi Young]

Thank you , Herman - even a slight chance is most welcome.
