If you wait for them to open much more, you'll probably be dissapointed. DESCRIPTION: Nodding on a short stalk above the 3-whorled leaves is a single maroon flower that has a pleasant odor. The leaves are 2 - 7" long, ovate and attaching directly to the stem. They are net-veined unlike most trilliums which are parallel-veined. Grows 8 - 20" FLOWERS: April to June HABITAT: Rich deciduous woods.   OTHER INFORMATION: This flower can be mistaken for Purple Trillium (Trillium erectum, and some only consider this a variety of it) which has an unpleasant odor because it uses carrion flies to pollinate it.
