Trillium cuneatum is also known as Wake Robin or Wood Lily or Sweet Betsy (USA). Originating from southeastern USA it is hardy throughout the UK and northern Europe. The musk scented maroon flowers are produced surrounded by broadly oval-rounded, often pointed, mid-green leaves marked pale or silver-green.

Looks almost tropical. Took 240 photos in Cairns Botanic Gardens today – a splendid area and a lot of photo-failure. Should’ve brought my flower camera.
Been there?

No. I wasn’t as into gardens then as I am now, probably because in those days I had one of my own which kept me busy. I look forward to seeing some of your photos though…

Trilliums grow in the woods in Michigan. They always make me think of fairies.

They do look magical when the light hits them.

Definitely looks tropical. Definitely don’t see any of those in the front yard. 🙂

Not in the least tropical – they grow in our woodlands so survive cold winters.

I love trilliums, but I had to look up sessile – learning all the time!
