I originally got this plant from my Brother's house in Ann Arbor. One simple plant. It is doing well on the north side of my house. Mostly shade. The ferns came from up north somewhere, I cannot remember where I got them.

I love trillium. Ours here in Southern Minnesota are more subtle. That is the flowers are underneath. Naturally, I also imported (I hate to say it) a few of the upright models from northern Wisconsin.
