Re: Balsam Mountain
I have seen the white trilliums, like mike has in the picture. But, they are pretty rare.

Re: Balsam Mountain
I think those are the painted, the whites don't have the purple in the center.
I saw a bunch of Painted Trillium 3000 ft+ all over Friday Mountain this weekend.

Re: Balsam Mountain
For some reason I thought that Painted Trilliums were the same as Great White Trilliums. I guess I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification.
Now I will be on a quest to find the Great White Trilliums.
I also learned that ants transport the seeds, and help with germination. Pretty interesting stuff.

Re: Balsam Mountain
Mike, That is interesting to know that the ants are responsible for the transportation of the Trillium seeds. They are a very beautiful flower to behold this time of year, while on a walk in the woods. I also love the mountain azaleas. They're a rare find in my book. I came across some in bloom today, during a drive near the Vernooy Kill State Forest. Pretty soon the Jack in the Pulpit will be fully grown..Also an interesting Catskill/Northeastern flower.
