Not very showy and now well and thoroughly hidden by its over-achieving neighbours my Trillium recurvatum is flowering.

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, May 2010

It's Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day again and after an extremely dry April things are starting to flower outside.
Dwarf Irises are putting on a good show this year. The taller Irises are still only in bud, ahead of schedule by about 2 weeks (they normally open around the first of June) but still not quite open yet.
Otherwise outside it a whole lot of buds and any day things will burst into bloom but maybe because of the very late spring showers a lot of things are only just starting to get under way. There's one special plant that will get its own post very soon because I've been absolutely amazed by it since I bought it last summer.
Trillium erectum
Inside there's even more to look at. Many plants from even as far back as February are still going.
I'd like to issue an apology to Saintpaulia 'Ma's Crime Scene' for things said in April - it has figured out how to hold its flowers up above the leaves and has not stopped flowering since it opened in February. There are approximately 18 Saintpaulia plants flowering in the house right now.
My Ludisia discolor that opened in March has moved onto its second spike but is still going and has been joined by my 'alba.' The Phal.s are still going though my Paph. has finished after almost three months open.
Streptocarpus 'Royal Grape 7122' re-posted.
Streptocarpus 'Royal Grape 7122' has also continued to impress. It took a few days (less than a week) off in April but has started to flower again since then.
Thanks for stopping by, I'll just leave you with two plants that have only just started flowering this month.
Saintpaulia cv.
Streptocarpus 'Lemon Frills'

Last year I brought home some interesting Trilliums from work (Along with a Jack-in-the-Pulpit, Arisaema sp., though I suspect a squirrel got it as I've seen no signs of life from that spot and there's been a lot of digging in that area) after they went dormant and were starting to look a little like empty pots of soil (not usually fast sellers at that point!).
They seem to have made it through the winter and a spring of being uncovered by squirrels and reburied by me as I found holes all over the place. I now have three different varieties in my shade garden.
This is my oldest, I believe it may be Trillium erectum, though I've lost the tag long ago. This picture is from last spring.
Trillium sessile 'Red Toad' - Love those leaves! I havethree four (One has a tiny offset growing beside it. If I remember right it was there last year too when it was planted.)of these growing.
Trillium recurvatum 'Purple Prairie' - Nice leaf but more green than 'Red Toad.' I have two of these, by the looks of things. I'll replace this picture once it's open more, and maybe the second one will be bigger? It's still curled up. (There's also a vigorous Turtle Head (Chelone obliqua) that's asking to be trimmed back a little right beside it.)
My experience from the first I planted (remaining of three planted) is that if they are not dug up in their first year (as the other two were) they'll be left alone from then onwards. They're also very slow to start spreading.
And Always buy your Trilliums from reputable growers who have not dug up wild Trilliums from forests. They are slow to spread and damage from harvesting may take several years for the patch to fully recover (when left alone) and also never pick a Trillium flower or cut back the foliage prematurely.
