David, It's a bit unusual to have two that look so similar, if I
understand you correctly.....first 4 photos represent two plants? But I
would suggest that you have a hybrid flexipes x erectum cross, with
examples of the two parents, if my guess is correct, in the last photo.
Maybe it suggests that your source was actually growing plants from seed
since this is usually a garden or domestic cross rather than a wild plant.
Does not look like sulcatum, or at least what I think of as sulcatum. For
what it's worth, of course.

different than any I have. I bought it from a nursery in Tennesse. I know
that white trilliums begin white and fade to pink. The red and purple bloom
as red and purple. But this one, only opened on Wednesday and it opened
this color. The petals almost look more like the coloring of a hellebore.
The petals started out this shaded, beige, pinkish color. Last photo is a
red or purple trillium, not sure, but it starts out this color. Any ideas?
Is it just a strange mutation of the red or purple? (but I have 2, as far
as I know right now)."
