"Trillium flexipes", the Bent Trillium or White Trillium, is a spring-flowering perennial which is most common in the midwestern United States. Scattered populations are found as far east as Philadelphia and as far south as Alabama. This species is variable, and tends to hang its flower below the leaves in northern areas. Southern strains have a large erect flower. The red or purplish fruit is also showy.
