I replied it was because I visit them each year and listen to their song.The white must be a bit later in blooming also.Out on the prairiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548162534362532705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7022216829037318291.post-14366840632884733692011-05-02T09:10:41.945-04:002011-05-02T09:10:41.945-04:00I so wanted to attend Flora Quest this year but ju...I so wanted to attend Flora Quest this year but just couldn't make it work for me.

If I wanted to get a little outside the box I may suggest it is a T. flexipes x erectum cross due to the ovary seeming to be a bit larger than the normal T. erectum ovary. T. erectum x flexipes both exist in the same Trillium complex and are known hybrids so who knows.Andrew Lane Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555125434346996812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7022216829037318291.post-45576192025338771442011-05-01T19:54:16.774-04:002011-05-01T19:54:16.774-04:00oh i forgot, the one at the bottom left, with the ...oh i forgot, the one at the bottom left, with the pink rather than dark maroon ovary makes me wonder if a white var- red var cross can yeild that pink ovary and throw a little more confusion into the crazy Trillium world.Michael Bartneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00274980237298207404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7022216829037318291.post-88563368454558101512011-05-01T19:46:34.942-04:002011-05-01T19:46:34.942-04:00Again,awesome shots, I can't thank you enough ...Again,awesome shots, I can't thank you enough for doing this even though I know you are doing it for the love of it( I just can't leave my local woods right now)..those are probably(along with M.W's) the best examples of pure strain T.erectum ive seen and getting the chance to compare that red to the maroon red of the specimen we talked about really helps me feel mine are hybrids. Rare, yet hybrids!Great work man!Michael Bartneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00274980237298207404noreply@blogger.com
