Trillium cernuum photographed in the wild in Southeastern Pennsylvania. This rather inconspicuous trillium is found growing in damp/wet stream valleys. T. cernuum is in the "Trillium erectum" group of species and is known to hybridize with other members of that group. It is difficult to grow in cultivation. The flowers are held on short curved pedicels below the leaves. A key character is that the lavendar anthers are short, only about the same length as the filament that supports them.
