Bloom description: Three large, white petals overlap each other on a nodding stem (peduncle). The blooms are brilliant white until they fade to pink. This happens to let the bees know that the flowers have matured and to move on.
Leaf type: Whorls of three large leaves are solid green in color and will last weeks after blooms have matured.
Garden uses: One of the easiest trillium species to grow, it likes rich woodlands with part sun to light shade. Trilliums like moist, but well-drained soil. Use as a garden specimen or as a mass planting to brighten up a shade garden.

DR. COMPTON'S TRAIL BEDS TRANSCRIPT
NARRATOR: Cody George, Crystal Bridge's horticulturalist, discusses Dr. Neil Compton's native plant beds near Crystal Spring, which our grounds crew has uncovered and renewed.
CODY GEORGE: The terraces just south of Crystal Spring Pond are remnants of what was Dr. Compton's original trial beds for Crystal Spring Garden that he had. These were covered up with many layers of leaves, as well as a layer of Japanese honeysuckle. So after we first noticed these terraces in the garden, we removed the leaves and then we removed the honeysuckle, and what was left were these 12 nicely flattened terraces on the side of the hillside. These terraces were marked out by different rocks that were placed around - most of the rocks were in fact intact, so we only had to replace a few of them. And later on we saw a document that had an original plant lists for Crystal Spring Garden. And there are plants that are in these terrace beds that are on the list, like roseshell azalea, and beautybush. So we're happy to display these beds, and we add to these beds - we add Ozark native plants to these beds just to help further Dr. Compton's legacy.
