| Often mistaken as the floral emblem of Ontario, known as the White Trillium, the Painted Trillium is distinguished from its relative by its red veining near the base of each petal. The overall appearance of the Paint Trillium is similar to other Trilliums because they have 3 wavy, white petals with the red stripes that fade towards the tip of the petal, accompanied by 3 sepals, and 3 large egg-shaped leaves that are grown in a whorl. The Painted Trillium usually blooms in May and is commonly found in cool, moist forest where there is acidic soil. On average, the Painted Trillium grows to be between 20 and 50 cm tall. |
