A new trillium for me

(viewed 582 times)

The botanist and I found this trillium. It is Trillium cuneatum, or Sweet Betsy. It grows in the southern US, and it is not listed ever in Ontario. I think the serious botanists are going to say it escaped from a garden or it really isn't what it is...but I know, I know this is a splendid sculptural trillium and I never ever saw anything like it before. And that is enough.

Ooh exciting - I know my fairly rare bog plants that people go past without seeing give me so much pleasure each year - hope you will find it again next year :)
