As I’ve been looking back at some of my unweeded photo sets on my hard drive, I realized that I have hundreds of unsorted, unedited photos of various types of trillium. I love seeing trillium in the woods in the spring, so I’m not sure why I’ve never looked closely at some of the photos I’ve taken of trillium. I’ve decided it’s time to sorting, weeding and editing some of them. So today I’m sharing some of my photos of Bent Trillium and Catesby’s Trillium.
Bent Trillium – trillium flexipes
Trillium Flexipes – known commonly as Bent Trillium, Nodding Trillium, Nodding WakeRobin Trillium – is native to much of the eastern U.S. Like other trilliums, it tends to bloom in the early spring in the woods. I have photographed Bent Trillium in Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina.

Catesby’s Trillium – trillium catesbaei
Trillium catesbaei – commonly known as Catesby’s Trillium, Bashful trillium or Bashful Wakerobin – is native to Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Like other trilliums, it blooms in the early spring in the woods. Once the Catesby’s Trillium has been pollinated, the petals change from white to pink. I’ve photographed Catesby’s Trillium in Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina.
