(Attachment Link) Trillium flexipes

Mark, it is not flexipes it is more erectum albiflorum, the ovary should be white or light pink. My flexipes will flower soon.

[MarkLyman]

Thanks Herman, flexipes was the name on the label from the very respected nurseryman - won't name them here tho!

Best, Mark

Steve, beautiful Trilliums! If you can spare some seeds of the dark Trillium rivale and Trillium simile Purple Haze I am always interested.

Any suggestions about what is wrong with my trilliums (probably chloropetalum). They have been rotting and turning to slime. It became worse after 3 days of constant rain last week, and is affecting only my chloropetalums. All my other species seem healthy. Could it be botrytis? Should I destroy all affeccted plants? Help!

Trillium smut? Urocystis trillii...you can treat it with a fungicide.

Thanks for this suggestion, Wim, I have now googled it for photos and it does seem a possibility. I will send off samples to the RHS for testing tomorrow. Bad news for my trillium collection if it is that.

Such a gorgeous foliage on T.  decumbens and decipiens - worth growing just for that.

[Carolyn]

Those are all beautiful Steve. As gabriela says, fantastic foliage too.

I couldn't agree more with Gabriela, such beautiful foliage!
All Trilliums are so beautiful, and Steve's pictures are so stunning.

Looking at Herman's pictures I'm beginning to think that my T.parviflorum (they are not yet up here) is not T.parviflorum, because it has bigger flowers. Perhaps it is T.album. I will post pictures of it in May when it usually flowers.

[Herman Mylemans]

Leena to be sure you need to wait for the berries (pictures from 2013).

[Leena]

Thank you Herman, I will try to remember that!
My T.parviflorum did make a seed pod the first summer but last summer it didn't. I hope it has now grown stronger and also produces seeds. From the first seed pod I got two seeds which also germinated last summer.

As WimB said, it is possibly Urocystis trilli and smut is very distinctive - discussion in 2010 on SRGC

There are other fungus and your photo appears very similar to the one on the following link.
