Description
The Purple Trillium, some call Wake-robin, are among the first wildflowers of the East Tennessee forest to show their beauty, starting around April each year.
Wake-robin usually has dark reddish-purple flowers, but occasionally they are white. More rarely, the flowers are pinkish or greenish. White-flowered wake-robin can be confused with large-flowered trillium, but wake-robin has a purple ovary (in the middle of the flower), and its petals are narrower and do not overlap at the base.
