Title: Trilliums from seed 2012
Post by: ichristie on April 12, 2012, 07:43:43 AM
Hello, I recently posted some trillium pictures taken in Bob Gordons garden these have been seeding around for years and I have seen many colour variations of flowers with different leaf patterns. Within Bob's garden in different locations grow Tr albidum. Tr chloropetalum, Tr Kuribyashi types, Tr parviflorum. I have the same mixture here in Kirriemuir so am posting some pictures showing plain leaves darl leaves allsorts of leaves  and flower colour.  cheers Ian the Christie kind

Hello, yes the bed of seedlings are growing on these are in a tunnel and yes we have some Paris polyphylla as well. I now post some more pictures some yellow forms of Tr. chloropetalum and some good forms of Tr erectum or hybrids with flexipes or something, cheers Ian the Christie kind

Wonderful plants Ian. I see from your first picture that you are planning to populate the Highlands and the Islands ;D That will be an exciting project. 8)

Hello Lesley yes I love seeing seedlings flowering for the first time and who knows the next batch of seed may well find its way across the pond to your area, cheers Ian the Christie kind.

Very nice hybrids Ian,

I know what you mean when you appreciate flowers for the first time when having to wait for 6 to 8 years.

thanks for showing
