Speaking of trout lilies...there is a small woods near us, on the banks of a creek, where we've gotten trillium before. The floor of the woods is a carpet of them. But we were back there last week and there were Dutchman's Breeches and trout lilies!!! We took some back home and I planted the wild ones next to my Pagodas.

I read where it takes seven years for a wild trout lily to bloom, which is why you'll see lots and lots of their leaves and very few blooms in relation. I found that to be true in our woods.
