we will both keep in touch till then-

Before you go expecting trillium from seed next spring I'd read some of the links below.
Not only is the germination process Looooooooooooooong. It may take years before you have trillium that you recognize! It might be best to buy them!
Trillium needs a three month chill followed by three months of warmth and then a further three month chill before it will germinate.
Trillium - Days to germination: 545+ Germination Temp: 60-70 Soil: Well drained (Sow on surface) Requires two periods of at least 3 months in the frig.

It takes trillium seven years to bloom from seed.
Chelsea,
Have you gotten your hands on any Trillium. This sping my back wood was loaded with purple trillium and I have also gotten some White Trillium (grandifolium). If you haven't gotten any and are still interested, maybe we can arrange a trade or else Priority shipping. Trouble is not that they are flowering they will wilt and wont come up till next spring. If I caught them a month ago it might have been ok.
Let me know.
The third pic is of a bloodflower.

Brian,
Are the white grandifolium the little guys that turn to pink and then purple as the bloom fades? I had some of these when I lived in WV and I didn't get to move them. My mom has managed to keep one going at her house here in Indiana. I would like to be able to have some in my garden if you could add me to the list for trading next spring. PLMK!
deb
If you could get them now, I wouldn't mind waiting for them to come up next spring! I'm sure I could find something to trade.
thanks!
deb
I have loads of red/maroon trillium too.Jody

I do not know if they change colors, I don't think so...
What might you have to trade??
They don't change colors.At least none of these do.Jody
The trillium I found in the woods of Bluefield WV changed color. They were a beautiful white when they bloomed and then as the bloomed aged, changed from white to pink to a lt lavender to a dk lavender. I am going to try to get more if I make it down there again.
Deb
Mine start out maroon and stay that way.I wonder what kind those are.If you find out please add it to the thread.Thanks,Jody
woodspirit,
it takes 7-8 yrs for trout lilies to bloom too.
I have Trillium luteum, along with some regular white trilliums. Here's the yellow luteum.
Jody, thanks for letting me know about trout lilies. I have some and have never seen them bloom, but they're only 2 years in my garden.
Your welcome.
pins2006,
I may be able to get my hands on a couple of mature trout lilies. They are not easy to dig up as the bulbs seem to be sooo deep. But when I catch some that flower, these are the ones I dig. Although they may bot blume for you this year I assume would be healthy flowering Trout lilies the following year.
If in my next couple of outings I come across some I will do my best to grab some. The ones I planted in my yard did not take too kindly to the transplant process but I would hope that next year they will brovide a nice touch.
That sounds great! Thank you so much.
Chelsea sending you mail...
Brian, Can you find trout lily for me too? I can divide my Phyteuma scheuchzeri (which is about to flower) if your seeds haven't given you enough. Also if you tell me some of your wants..I'm sure I can come up with something...LOL
Kim,I also have trout lilies the white kind,they are starting to go dormant.If you'd like to trade something for several plmk.Have maroon trillium and maidenhair fern too,plus regular woodland fern,I can take photo's.Thanks,Jody
OK Jody, Then I would love to trade! I have just about every seed on your want list. I will print it and take it with me. I'm on my way to the growing center in a few minutes. I'll see what they have. It's a non-profit organization that grows thousands of perennials. I love going there every year! My Dad works there and takes the problem children there (school kids) for community service. in other words. Detention time! LOL LOL I'll be back soon
Kim do you want the seeds?Or to trade plants?Jody
Oh I thought we were trading plants? But I mentioned seeds because I have some of the ones on your want list I can send along too.
We are.lol.
You just mentioned you had every seed I wanted.
That's why I asked.
I'll e-mail you.
Jody
irisluvr0252,
In my recent romp in the woods I came across a trillium (See Pic). I wouldn't say it is a little guy though but it's not purple, nor is it white, nor is it the painted trillium!
It's an aging white one. They turn pinkish as they get old. Seen them every spring, walking in the woods in S. ON. Wish I had some here! :)
That looks suspiciously like the ones I had in WV! I would love to have some!!! (hint, hint!)
Deb
My mom had one blooming last weekend. If I can get out to her house again with the camera, I will take a pic and post it. The petals are actually more round than the one you have. Your's looks is more pointed.
deb
These White Trillium, Trillium Grandifolium, I believe, are out in force right now in Vermont.
I will have to collect a bunch for those of you who are interested.
I am headed throught the Adirondacks in a few days to look for more native wildflowers, foung some Jack-in-the-pulpit the other day.

I have a few different types of jacks. I collected them from the local woods that my in laws own. Love the woods ferns. I have ostrich ferns but, love the natural woods ones. And the little wild iris! I can't get enough of those!
Brian, Yes..No...Maybe So???
Kim,
Sorry for the delay. I will definately keep my eyes out this weekend for bloomin or bloomed Trout Lily. They may have past their season. As for the Phyteuma scheuchzeri My seeds did not do too well so you could send me some and I will get you Trout Lily either this year or early the next.
Brian
OK! LMK know what you come up with :-D
Kim.
Garden center detention,my kind of punishment.heehee Jody
Well I didn't find anything on your list..But I'll email you some things...
Oky Doky.
Jody
I haven't seen any mention of this in this thread.....so I will add this commentary
I encourage anyone who is planning to collect native plants to check the endangered/protected status for that state (and federal) beforehand. Even if is if from privately owned land these ethical consideration are important to the natural survival of many species. Often the safest way to add these beauties to our gardens is to obtain safely cultivated seed or plants.
In the sprit of supporting many natural resources and prolonging their beauty in wild settings, I hope this suggestion is received well by prospective diggers.
