trillium kurabayashi
this unusual trillium is native to japan. the capture was made in late february 2005 outside of portland, oregon. the species normally blooms red(i’ll have to search for a picture of the red one and post it later) though 1 in 100 blooms yellow. two friends have a small corner of their magnificent woodland garden where 5 or so yellow trillium kurabayashis reside. 5 or so yellow kurabayashis they grew from seed!
Trillium kurabayashii is native to the northern west coast of the US. No sessile trillium are native to Asia.
Thanks for the great picture.
