White Trillium

White Trillium

White Trillium Trillium grandiflorum makes a carpet of white flowers in eastern woodlands of North America in the spring. The flowers have three large white petals which turn pink as the blossom ages. It is important not to pick a Trillium as all of its three leaves which grow out just under the flower are picked at the same time. The plant needs these leaves to make food, which is stored in an underground stem to provide energy for a new flower to grow in the following spring. [CH] {GW}
