All trilliums are distinguished by having three leaves radiating from the top of a 6" to 12" stalk with a usually three petaled flower with three smaller leaves attached with the petals. The colors are somewhat variable and often change with age. Nodding trilliums are usually white. Painted trilliums are white with red rays coming out of the center of the flower. Catesby's and Large flowered trilliums are often white becoming pink as the flowers age. Wake robins are pale yellow or deep maroon and I have seen both colors together seemingly growing from the same plant. The toad shade trilliums also are pale yellow or maroon.
