Trillium, Large-flowered

Genus: Trillium.

Species: Trillium grandiflora.

Also called White-flowered Trillium, and is a native perennial of Ohio. This trillium has the largest flower out of all of the other trilliums. It is a protected flower species so never pick or dig this flower from the wild. I once read that if you pick a trilliuim that the plant will die however I'm not sure how true that is because I've never picked one. This pure white trillium turn pink with age making people think that it is a different kind of trillium. Ants disperse trillium seeds by taking seeds to their underground homes, but not eating them.
