Description:

Attractive three-petaled white flowers, opening from the late spring to the early summer, that rise above a whorl of three, leaf-like bracts.
Some forms of the species have pink instead of white petals.

Habitat:

It is native to eastern North America, from northern Quebec to the southern parts of the United States through the Appalachian Mountains into northernmost Georgia and west to Minnesota. It also thrives on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. There are also several disjunctive populations, such as in Nova Scotia and Iowa.

Notes:

These pink trilliums were seen in the Niagara Gorge along with white and red Trilliums. The Gorge is part of the Niagara Escarpment Biosphere Reserve.
