Trillium
Red trillium, stinking Benjamin (part shade to shade)
erectum: 2-20", It bears deep red flowers atop a set of
three leaves. As its common name implies, the flowers are not exactly
fragrant. In fact, they have an odor similar to rotting meat, but the
"fragrance" is only noticeable if you stick your nose in
the flower. It forms a wide clump. A live plant in a 3" pot -
$30 each or 3 for $85.50 - You save $4.50! (Nursery-propagated,
not wild-collected)
