Another trillium ID required for this lovely one. Thanks in advance.

And for whoever else knows.

Likeliest candidates are either Trillium erectum (a yellow form or hybrid of it. Not all Trillium collectors recognize the yellow form as the pure species as the hybrids tend to oftentimes come out with yellow petals), or Trillium sulcatum forma albolutescens. Former is likelier than the latter in regards to access in the horticultural trade, as T. erectum has the larger natural wild range in the east (and hence horticultural access) than T. sulcatum.

Considering either species are native to east NA and not the west, you have quite the enviable collection of Trilliums in your locality.

Offtopic but on the same tangent on Trilliums, unless I’m mistaken there is only one species of Trillium which is native to the BC area; Trillium ovatum the Western White Trillium.

T. erectum var. alba actually. I made an error and @parkingcurb corrected me.

Thanks!

On a side note now I have 1000 followers so thanks to everyone for their interest and thanks to everyone else who I follow for having such beautiful and informative blogs.

And a special thanks to Cynthia and Tavia who came up with the idea.
