Trillium- The genus name refers to the fact nearly all parts of the plant comes in threes. It has 3 broad leaves on each stalk, 3 small green sepals and 3 large sepals (petal-like structures) surrounding a group of yellow stamens. It also has three-sectioned seedpods. Thanks to the New England Wild Flower Society for this cross country friendship! Southern Californians can now enjoy these eastern woodland ephemerals . They are on display in front of the Garden office. Stop by soon!
