It's kind of hard to tell at this stage, and I may not get blooms this first year, but I hope they bloom next year!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-58072387875852046582014-05-01T20:25:35.429-05:002014-05-01T20:25:35.429-05:00What a treat it is to have those spring beauties! ...What a treat it is to have those spring beauties! I love the trilliums, but I'm not sure if I've seen the red ones like that. I had to laugh at what you said about not thinking they should be planted by someone's back door. <br /><br />I hope your Virginia bluebells come up.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-57409569189434599452014-04-29T22:14:25.027-05:002014-04-29T22:14:25.027-05:00Oh how exciting for you in your new home and garde...Oh how exciting for you in your new home and garden!

I am excited about what discoveries I may find in my new yard this year - I already have found a lot of Cinnamon ferns coming up.

It looks like a Peony or a Camellia bloom. But the sites I was looking at said each tuber is $75! Can't afford that, and not sure I'd spend it on one hybrid Trillium for that price. I'm happy with the wild ones outside the window. ;-)Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-71243872002204441472014-04-28T20:06:50.834-05:002014-04-28T20:06:50.834-05:00I agree.

I got one plant of each of erectum, grandiflorum, cuneatum and luteum back in 2004, but for different reason, only the T. cuneatum has been successful and multiplied well in my garden. I bought another grandiflorum earlier this spring, but it hasn’t yet emerged so I might have to complain, my cuneatums have been flowering for over a month so the grandiflorum should have emerged by now.<br /><br />Thanks for all the lovely photos, Trillium erectum is a beautiful one, I think I would like to add another one of those to my collection, although the trillium I really have my heart on is called Trillium grandiflorum 'snowbunting' – if you don’t know it, Google it, it is just gorgeous!! I wish I had deep enough pockets to fill the bottom of my garden with those :-)HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-91441461256302217982014-04-28T17:05:29.540-05:002014-04-28T17:05:29.540-05:00what a delightful plant, the colour, and the leave...what a delightful plant, the colour, and the leavesDiana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-36427163576841518382014-04-28T17:00:51.307-05:002014-04-28T17:00:51.307-05:00This really is a beautiful trillium!
