Fabulous Kurabayashii x albidum cross Jonny, just what I'm hoping to achieve with my seedlings. How old is the plant in the  photo?

Thanks for helping us to see them Maggi.

Mavers

just for keeping you positive , as all plant people are , here a small true story

My father past his seventies when he one day was seeding rhododendron seeds
the neighbour , almost seventy years old , passed and asked what he was seeding
My father said Rhododendrons
he said , that will take at least ten years before they flower
my father answered , so what , I will see them flowering or other will enjoy them
and he did see them flowering

Beautiful trillium hybrids, Jonny. The first double trillium reminds me of frilly ladies underwear...

Here are some Trillium from a recent adventure from not far from me heading south and west, then south, then north and east, then back northwest to home. Quite a trip, but a much later year than normal. Hepatica have only just begun when for 12 years I could expect them in full flower by the 16th of March. They only just started at home on my west facing (hot) slope.

 Trillium cuneatum and then T. decumbens in a mixed population

 Trillium "freemanii", a common plant from the southern Cumberland Plateau. This is frequently referred to as the Ruby Falls Trillium. Some consider it ludovicianum due to the petal shape, others as maculatum, and most as cuneatum. DNA says its sister to maculatum and the latrorse anther dehiscence supports that.

Continuing....

 Trillium decipiens
 Trillium lancifolium AL
 Trillium lancifolium FL
 Trillium maculatum GA 1 and 2

[Afloden]

Contuining still..... starting with more maculatum, stems only since the deer are extremely problematic. We saw at every site visited severe deer predation. This first clump of maculatum has over 30 stems, all of which had been browsed off.

 Then Trillium lancifolium again from GA
 Trillium sp  Not yet named, but its due to be published soon. This is known from 3 sites in Tennessee about 300 miles from oostingii and with different DNA and floral fragrance. It is a lovely plant!!

just what I'm hoping to achieve with my seedlings.

My first trillium seedlings have emerged and I am wondering whether to prick them out or leave them a year?  Any advice and what compost would people use?
