Plant I.D.

May 09, 2011 2 Replies

I took my first trip to the New Jersey Botanical Gardens yesterday. Beautiful place. I'll have to go back when more of the perennials and annuals are blooming.



I was walking through the hosta garden and noticed a really cool looking plant that had no ID tag. (I didn't have my camera so I couldn't take a picture.) It had large roundish leaves with the flower stalk growing from the leaf axil. The flower was purple with three bracts, maybe 2" in diameter.



I tried Googling a bunch of descriptive terms but haven't found anything resembling it.



Any ideas?



Thanks.


trillium ? possibly t foetidissima ?
