Flaunting my Red Trillium

©
For Friday's Flowers I'm flaunting my red trilliums.

We had to have some work done on the outside of our house, which involved lots of digging.  So I had to move many of my plants into large tubs in the hopes of saving them.  One of those plants was my lovely red trillium.  It has done extrememly well in the big pot as it has now bloomed while waiting to be put back into the garden.
 
Just look at the blooms.

 I'm hesitant to move it again while it is still in bloom, so I will be waiting till the blooms finish until I find a new spot in the garden for it.
 
Thanks for taking time to visit today. I hope you have time to leave a comment and say hi.

  9. Good luck to you moving and saving your plants. We have a new sewer project going through our town. I am in the same boat. Moving plants to try to save the ones I can't live without.

    What a fun plant. It is so brilliant. I really like it.

  11. I'm super envious! I've wanted Trilliums for a while now. The tubers I bought last year didn't ever sprout.

  12. Trilliums are so beautiful. I wish I could grow them in my garden but I don't think they like the clay we have here / gittan

  13. I am envious Linda. I bought what I thought was a red trillium (according to the tag) but it turns out it is T. erectum which doesn't get pretty flowers and although it's multiplied, is disappointing.
    Of course, how many times has that happened when you thought you bought one thing and it was a different colour or even plant.
    Judith,

  14. We had our front window replaced a few years ago and I thought for sure I would lose the trilliums as they were under it with all the tramping on them by the workers. But, they have survived. Yours are looking terrific despite being moved. Valerie
