  1. Really weird because this looks just like Catesby's Trillium (Trillium catesbaei)--which is nowhere near your range....

    1. Bashful Wakerobin (Trillium catesbaei) This bashful beauty was growing at a forest edge along our driveway. I barely caught the white of the petals as this flower nods below the foliage. Bashful wakerobin,Geotagged,Spring,Trillium catesbaei,United States

      1. That is so weird. I don't think I have ever seen this species before. It looks like it. I wonder if it is. Posted 4 years ago
        1. Pl@ntnet results:
          Trilium ovatum (77% confidence)
          Trilium catesbaei (13% confidence)

          Interpret as you see fit, just sharing results.

          1. The range would be even more off for T. ovatum. It grows on West Coast. Posted 4 years ago
            1. Ok, that shows the limitations of purely visual matching using AI. In no way it shows my limitations, obviously. Posted 4 years ago
              1. @Ferdy, correct - you have no limitations. Posted 4 years ago
                1. Bahaha! :D Posted 4 years ago
                2. Especially not in detecting sarcasm ;) Posted 4 years ago
                  1. What is sarcasm? Posted 4 years ago
                      1. Interesting, but that is incorrect. The Sarcasm World Championship was not in Peru in 1998. It was in Amsterdam. You should know this! Look it up ;). Posted 4 years ago
                        1. No femsplaining.

                          *I'm commenting on your comment by commenting IN your comment just so you don't get the last word ;). How's that for femsplaining?

              2. Ferdy, is your power level over 9000?
                Posted 4 years ago
                1. Haha! Posted 4 years ago
                2. It's more like level 90. Same as the amount of minutes it takes me to get out of bed. Posted 4 years ago
                  1. I feel that, Ferdy. Waking up is rough! Posted 4 years ago
          2. Thanks Ferdy, I think it's Trilium catesbaei...Just REALLY out of range. Posted 4 years ago
            1. I think so too! I'm SOOOOOOOO VERY excited! Posted 4 years ago
            2. Also, to give you an idea of how thrilled I am, I forgot to even favorite this or add it to my "Pretty in Pink.." list :P Posted 4 years ago
              1. I'm going to need a nap after all this excitement. Posted 4 years ago
                1. I went to bed early LOL!
                  I think you can safely call these T. catesbaei. :3 Looks like there are a few observations up your way but they are mostly cultivated..so this MAY be something truly special. You made my week for sure!
                  Posted 4 years ago
                  1. Yay, thanks! I'm glad it brought you some cheer <3. Posted 4 years ago
  2. Nice play on the three green sepals against the three pink petals. All offset with the yellow anthers. Posted 3 years ago
    1. Thanks, they are beautiful flowers. Posted 3 years ago
