Like all trillium the Painted trillium has three leaves, three styles, three petals, three sepals and strangely this species is often encounter by group of three individuals.
This plant is a tribute to the number three !
The red triangle "painted" on the three white crumble petals is hard to mist.
The mature fruit look like a red pimento.
Just like the Red trillium this plant can show abnormalities such as albinism.
