Wildflowers: Trillium

Among the easiest spring wildflowers to identify are the many species of trillium, each with the distinctive three sets of three—three petals, three sepals, and three leaves. Trillium vary in color with red, yellow, white, and pink blossoms. The flower is said to have a foul smell which attracts carrion flies to pollinate the flowers. Range: Georgia to Maine. Bloom season: April to June.
