Don't you love when that happens!

And don't you hate it when two days after you've bought a plant to replace one that you thought wasn't coming back, the first one pops up? :-)

That's happened to me twice this year already!

Well, that's how it works with everything else! I'm sure you won't mind another Trillium.

Four years after I planted a Trillim and three years after I thought it had gone forever, I found it in bloom yesterday. What a joy!

Thanks for your post as it gives this writer some pause to keeping that part of the garden "be"; and hopefully remember not to overplant and/or transplant something into that spot.

I purchased a half dz last spring from NJAS (already dormant) and the planting area hasn't seen nary anything green popping up thru the leaf litter this spring.

Coincidentaly, I'm planting a flat of tiarella 'plugs' this weekend, so that patience or make that dilligence should be in play with where the trilliums were planted.

Happy Spring everyone :)
