White trillium

At the time of flowering in mid-spring, White trillium is easily observable because at that time the woods are cleared and more, the White Trilliums often form large colonies.

Territory:

Does not greatly exceed the latitude of Quebec City and is missing in some parts of southern Quebec like the Mauricie region.Common in the Montreal area.

Habitat:

Rich woods especially in maples.

Flowering:

Flowering in early may.

Similar:

Easily identifiable once in flower, the leaves are similar to those of the Red trillium (Trillium erectum).From a distance a colony of white Trilliums can be confused with a colony of Bloodroots (Sanguinaria canadensis) because these two species flower at the same time and in the same environment.
