Sweet Betsy Trillium (Trillium cuneatum) is not commonly seen at lower elevations in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

With distinctively mottled leaves and an erect bloom like Yellow Trillium, the maroon variation is easy to spot.

Unfortunately, I cannot recall where I took this photo!

Please stop in and visit me to see the complete display of Smoky Mountain Photography at the William Britten Gallery in Gatlinburg, TN.

    We hiked Bald River Falls yesterday (April 9th) and saw several of these. We thought they were trillium, but couldn’t find them in our wildflower book. Glad to know their name.
