Field Notes
Description:
The blossom hides beneath the three leaflets, making it more difficult to spot from above the plant. The petals of Trillium catesbaei are sharply recurved. The yellow anthers make a quick differentiation with the nodding trillium (Trillium cernuum), which have pink anthers. Colors: white, pink, or rose, darkening to pink or nonfading with age, veins visible but not appearing engraved
Habitat:
Found in the southeastern United States. Like most trilliums, it prefers moist, humus-rich soil in shade. Its northern limit includes the Great Smoky Mountains and other parts of North Carolina and Tennessee.
Notes:
Spotted along the trail at the Allatoona Pass Battlefield.
