Trillium 2021

[Herman Mylemans]

Gabriela and Kris, thank you.
I love Trilliums, but not all are doing well in our garden,  for instance I have lost: Trillium catesbaei,  Trillium vaseyi, Trillium decumbens, Trillium maculatum , Trillium hibbersonii.
But we keep on trying!

Here Trillium grandiflorum is at peak flowering ...

What a sight
Here the cool spring allow trilliums to stay in flower for longer than usual.

Great trilliums, Herman.  The last four are ones I've not seen other than in books.  They all look pretty happy.

Thank you Claire, from 2014 till 2018 I have been looking after special Trillium seeds and now a part of them are already planted in the garden.

Same happened her Ashley. It was a great spring for all early flowering species, I say it was because we are heading right into summer with 27C and more expected next week!

You seem to have an endless collection of Trilliums Herman! and of garden space

[Leena]

Herman, you are really good at growing Trilliums!
I have also tried to sow many Trilliums from seed ex but only the most common ones seem to germinate for me. I still love them all.
I sowed I.rugelii from seed ex 2014 and two seeds germinated in 2019, the same was with T.sulcatum, but better late than never.

Leena, you need to have fresh seeds. Which one would you try? (send me a PM)

[Leena]

Thank you Herman for you kind offer. I have now some seedlings growing from different kinds, so I will think about it (if there is something I don't have and which would grow here).
These T.chloropetalum plants are all from seeds sown 2014 and 2015, and I'm so happy to have them now.
In the second picture is a mystery Trillium. They were sown in 2014 as T.parviflorum, and last spring the white ones flowered and I thought they are T.parviflorum. Now the purplish flower had gotten me confused. It grows in the same clump with the white ones and I'm pretty sure they were all sown in the same pot originally. The purple one is flowering now for the first time. The flower shape is different than in any of my T.chloropetalums.
In the last picture the mystery is in the left and bigger T.chloropetalums in the right.

Leena, your mystery Trillium is surely a hybrid and it is a beautiful one!
