Wordless Wednesday
Last Sunday I posted a photo of this flower when it was just a lonely bud. I believe most of the members of my Green Thumb Sunday group that saw the photo urged me to post a photo of this Trillium grandiflora in bloom.
I’m fairly certain the first year this hybrid trillium bloomed it was white – as it should be. However, this year and perhaps last year, it became a maroon colored trillium flower. The hybrid might be reverting back to one of it’s parents. I’m not sure. Either way, it’s an unusual colored flower, and an even more unusual color for a trillium.

It was worth the wait to see it. Mahalo for sharing this beauty with us.
aha! there it is finally 🙂 very very beautiful… enjoying it very much!
That is indeed a beautiful photo. (wandered over via google search on Trillium). However, whoever sold that to you as Trillium grandiflorum had *no* clue — that’s Trillium erectum!
It could have been white the first year — I believe that it is a hybrid — members of that group of Trillium hybridize quite easily. It would be interesting to track the flower color from year to year. It wouldn’t surprise me if it can change!
This is a nice flower picture. I think that every body will be very happy to see this flower.
