Pink-form Trillium

The pink-form of Great White Trillium is a rare color variant where the typically white petals develop shades of pink to deep rose, either from the start or as the flower ages. Found occasionally within populations of the white form across eastern North America, it is prized by wildflower enthusiasts. This form is not genetically fixed and plants may revert to white over time. The cause of the pink coloration is not fully understood but may involve viral infection or genetic variation.
