@ganativeplants.bsky.socialOnly this trillium could pull off such a boring common name: white trillium. Its scientific name is much more worthy: Trillium grandiflorum. It is at the southern end of its range in Georgia. The large white flowers are held above the leaves and fade to pink as they age.(1/2) #nativeplants

Show PostLast week we featured our mottled-leaf trillium species with sessile flowers. We'll finish out our series with the species that have green leaves and flowers on pedicels (stalks). Today's trillium is Trillium erectum or red trillium (also called stinking Benjamin!). (1/2) #nativeplants

Show PostTiny rue anemone (Thalictrum thalictroides) is one of our spring ephemerals. Native to woodlands, this member of the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae) rises above the leaf litter to about 8". The flowers can be white or light pink and the foliage color is green to reddish-brown. (1/2) #nativeplants
