Trillium chloropetalum rubrum
Giant wake-robin or Sessile Trillium (Trillium
chloropetalum) is a spring-flowering perennial plant
native to the west and north-west coast of the United States. The
flowers are a deep red colour. A typical monocot,
it has leaves and flowers that are grouped in threes. It is
clump-forming and prefers a shady habitat, since its natural habitat
is the woodland floor. The leaves are edible, and considered a
delicacy by slugs.
