Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is one of the most rare perennial from Japan. It is aTrillium relative with particular appeal for collectors who love unusual woodlanders. It has quiet yet beautiful flowers on a trillium-like plant. The stem is circled by a single whorl for four to seven mid-green leaves which is echoed by the flower with its own whorl of white bracts subtending threadlike white petals, golden stamens.
