Thank you both.

I have some more to post but keep on getting an error message of ...
'Your file is too large. The maximum attachment size allowed is 200 KB ' and yet they are about the same size ,(450KB), of the postings I've made the last few days so am not sure whats happening with the Forum's resizing tool.

[t00lie]

Rightio ... I have resized below the above limit before posting here.

Eastern variation continued.

[t00lie]

That worked ... so a few more showing the interplay of light .

Last images including a clump of T. sessile . In my experience when you grow a number of different Easterners close together you eventually end up with some very interesting seedlings.

Dave, how many Trillium's do you have? I think you have a very large garden.

Thanks Ashley ..some do however not all.

Not a big garden Herman and not as many Trilliums as I used to as space is limited from the surrounding protected native vegetation and  I have converted the main area out the back of the house into crevice sand beds to accommodate an increasing collection of alpines ....

An example of how close some of the clumps are ... The flowers of both are of good size ,nice colour and interesting markings so if hand pollinated there might some lovely seedlings however I will leave it up to nature.

Anyway Dave, it's a beautiful garden, surrounded by big trees!

Dave, you have so many different colours and nice Trilliums.
Several years ago I got seeds of white T.erectum from you and it flowered last spring for the first time.
Second picture is of a plant I grew from seed exchange seeds labeled T.erectum hybrid, and flower shape is a bit different.
The third plant was also grown from seed ex and was labeled T.vaseyi album x T.sulcatum.

Thanks Leena and nice to see you have plants flowering from seed I sent.
Your last plant looks yummy .    and they are all worth the wait.

T. vaseyi and its variations have started to flower here including a number that appear to have hybridised with T.rugeli.
T.grandiflorum roseum pale pink form.
Not sure of the parents of this last Trillium I will show however it's a keeper.
