I would be interested to know if anyone has identified the painted trilliums we found on the trip - I seem to have two kinds. One has a much wider base to the petals than the other. I have three or four books, but they only show the basic ones and all the books seem to show different plants.

I'm having technology problems this spring - besides all my camera and lens problems, my laptop battery has died and I'm slowly trying to transfer my photos to my desktop where I can work on them when I have time.

Glad to see some of the great postings from the recent trip.

Whatever the common name, the scientific name is:
Trillium undulatum

As an offshoot, I encountered this thread on a local hiking forum, you may find it interesting!
