My Bit of Heaven - by Kristl Walek
Kristl Walek:
I was quite surprised today to find Trillium erectum flowering yet T. grandiflorum not even near bloom. It is surely a mixed up spring here...
Maggi Young:
What great reds these are, Kristl 8)

Kristi,
By coincidence, Trillium erectum has just come into flower here (south of Ireland) also. However, a peculiarity of our plant here is that it was purchased, I think, four years ago and did not make an appearance above ground until this year and now it has flowered. Peculiar!
I am a lover of the North American woodland plants. William Cullina's book on N.A. wildflowers had been a favourite read since publication. Also, I have a friend in Maryland who is very keen on woodland natives.

Kristl Walek:
And here is Uvularia grandiflora, the Greater Bellwort, which has braved this current dip in temperatures to show it's pretty, pretty face. One of my favorites.
The variegated clone is a plant I found in the wild years ago, which I have been intending to get into tissue culture.
Lastly is Uvularia sessiliflora, a smaller-flowered, more delicate thing, which has not yet opened here, but I thought to put it here for comparison. It is rare in the wild here.
Maggi Young:
More gems, Kristl, we're having a lovely time strolling around your property with you, thanks!
