 Trillium grandiflorum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trillium grandiflorum, also White trillium, or Large-flowered trillium, or snow trillium, is a member of the Trilliaceae family (formerly part of the Liliaceae).

 The Effects of Deer Browsing on White-Flowered Trillium in Cuyahoga Valley
For instance, in a study by Anderson (1994), the stem height of white-flowered trillium (Trillium grandiflorum) was positively correlated with reproductive output and negatively correlated with the percent of the herbaceous understory that was browsed.
Trillium grandiflorum is a polycarpic (capable of flowering and fruiting an indefinite number of times) perennial that occurs in the understory of deciduous woodlands throughout the Great Lakes region of North America and south through the Appalachian Mountains into North Carolina (Hanzawa and Kalisz, 1993).
Trillium grandiflorum stem height is a useful indicator of deer browsing intensity (Anderson, 1994).

Trillium can also be found all along the western boundary where the preserve meets with the local housing development.

Although the T. grandiflorum may form large clumps, most trilliums tend to be solitary plants with a single bloom, preferring moist, acid, humus rich soil in light to heavy shade.
The grandiflorum slowly turns to pale pink as the bloom ages, and is sometimes mistaken for a different variety.
Most of the trilliums, which are rhizomes best planted in the fall, are relatively easy to grow in a wildflower garden.

This leaf looks like a trillium leaf, but because it is very small, and because we are expecting three leaves on a trillium plant (not one), this trillium plant is often overlooked.
This in turn depends upon a variety of factors, including the amount of light and water the plant receives, the soil it is growing in, and its ability to avoid disease, plant-eating animals, bulldozers, bouquet seekers, and any kind of accidental damage to its plant parts.
We may have fewer trilliums here than in the past, but they continue to be one of our favorite spring features, due to their delicate beauty and fascinating natural history.
