Ooo a purple one? I bet it was lovely! I don’t know…to be honest, I’ve only ever seen these white ones.
I’ve just done a google search, and I found this blog post: http://texafied.com/blog/2009/05/01/western-trillium-color-changes/ where he shows photos taken of the same plant, in both white and purple. It seems that you were right in your guess that the purple is a different phase, the flower changes color as it matures! Cool!
Stunning! I love it when the trillium bloom. I saw a purple one the other day. Do you know if that is a different variety or phase?
Lovely photo! Thank you for sharing.

So sweet. It looks like it has a personality.
It does. :)
