| | Tempting Trillium - A Woman's View |
 | | White trillium grows from a short, thick rhizome, an underground stem, and forms colonies, sometimes growing in great profusion, creating a carpet of white in the forest. |
 | | Throughout the northern hemisphere, trillium habitat is varied, from the wet cypress swamps of Florida’s panhandle, to hot volcanic slopes with Ponderosa pine in Idaho, and maple-beech forests with bamboo in northern Japan. |
 | | White trillium flowers from early April to early June, depending on location and altitude, sometimes occurring with red trillium or stinking Benjamin (Trillium erectum). |
