There are two type in my area. The white with red splashes are Painted Trillium. The other is the solid red Trillium.

Trillium are founded in shaded areas often on the edge of the woods. The woods they prefer are beech-maple-oak. Throw in some pines and thats exactly what you find around our part of Vermont.

Trillium hikes are a favorite part of spring. They bloom in mid to late May usually. The nature lovers grapevine around here usually lets us know when people are starting to see them 🙂
